SECTION 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 Constant Effort Units The Constant Support designed and manufactured by Carpenter & Paterson

incorporates the latest design concepts, resulting in a constant supporting effort through the total travel of the unit. The simplified construction, together with the established principle of a compression spring working in conjunction with a bell crank lever, achieves a mathematically perfect counter-balancing of spring and load moments about the main pivot point.

The design incorporates as standard a device for in situ load adjustment of plus or

minus 20% of the set load. This adjustment does not reduce the travel range. The Constants are manufactured to have a maximum deviation of 5% from the set load unless a lower figure is requested at enquiry stage. Upper and lower travel stops are incorporated in all units to prevent excessive over travel.

Pipe Hanger Range: Loads up to 350,000 N (35,000kg), travel range up to 600 mm. Specialist Constant Supports are designed to suit customer's specific requirements.

The photograph on the left shows a selection of high quality Constant Supports manufactured for use in a Power Station in Singapore.

2.2 Variable Spring Supports Our Variable Load Hanger and Supports are available in four travel ranges - 35, 70,

140 and 210 mm, with a load range of 200 N (20 kg) to 250,000 N (25,000 kg). The unique construction of the unit is particularly advantageous for use in severe corrosive conditions.

Special Variable Supports are designed to suit customer's specific requirements.

2.3 Hydraulic Shock Arrestors This range of hydraulic shock arrestor has been developed to protect pipelines and

equipment from the effect of shock loads generated by rapid valve closure and/or seismic shock conditions.

Our hydraulic shock arrestors are available in loads up to 1,000 Kn (101,971kg) and

travels up to 4o0 mm. The Shock Arrestor offered is of the Velocity Limiting type. Special design shock arrestors are available for extreme loads. 2.4 High Stiffness Struts and Clamps This range of struts and clamps has been designed to meet the stringent criteria

required by the PWR and BWR pipework systems. The stiffness of these components has been derived by dynamic testing to ensure full code/customer specification compliance.

2.5 Structural Steelwork We manufacture a wide range of fabrications in carbon, alloy and stainless steel from

small pipe sliders to complex structures. 2.6 Ancillary Equipment A comprehensive range of standard ancillary components is offered including various

types of threaded hanger rods, pipe clamps, beam clips, U bolts and many other standard items.

Special design pipe and riser clamps, attachments and connections to meet unusual

design conditions or when design parameters exceed catalogued product capabilities are available.

2.7 Pipe Whip Restraints Multiple U Bar devices and laminated strap devices are engineered and

manufactured to meet requirements of Pipe Whip criteria for postulated pipe failure conditions.

Special design for fabricated restraint devices and structural elements for major equipment restraint applicable are also available.

2.8 Fabrications Large structural frames, trimmer steelwork, brackets and special purpose fabricated

assemblies, anchors and fabricated restraints, stainless steel and low alloy fabricated supports and restraints.

Carpenter & Paterson Ltd were contracted as the main supplier of the support assemblies required for the Euro Tunnel project between Britain and France. The photograph on the left shows some of our supports after installation in the tunnel.

2.9 Cryogenic Supports Carpenter & Paterson are suppliers of Cold Insulated Pipe Supports consisting of a

steel cradle containing High Density Polyurethane Foam inserts. “Thermafoam” is specifically formulated and moulded in single or multi layer 180

segments with high density skin. The design make-up of the insulated pipe support can be categorised as follows:-

HD PUF monolithically moulded, or cut from bun stock, segment’s either single or

multilayer. Aluminium foil vapour barrier to prevent ingress of moisture. Aluminised metal thin gauge protective jacket, to prevent damage to the vapour

barrier. Mechanically strong carbon steel support cradle which contains the insulation

element and allows pipe loading to be transferred safely to supporting structures.

The two essential design parameters for Cryogenic Pipe Supports are compressive strength and thermal conductivity. Polyurethane Foam has superior insulation properties to prevent heat loss and maintain temperatures in cold process pipelines to prevent freezing. Polyurethane Foams can be efficient over an extremely wide range of temperatures typically -196C to + 120C. The density of the foam which determines the compressive strength is generally between 160 Kg/m3 and 500 Kg/m3 and with these load bearing properties it is evident why PUF is such a suitable insulation material for Cryogenic Support Applications. Independent testing is carried out to determine the thermal conductivity, the density and compressive strength of the HD PUF materials. Our testing, calculation and design criteria are all based on:-

Shell DEP No 30.46.00.31 – Gen document ASTM D-1621: Compressive strengths of HD PUF ASTM C-177: Thermal Conductivity testing

With the manufacture of the steelwork and the PUF insulation undertaken side by

side in our works, we ensure complete control of production progress throughout.

4.4 Construction Material Carbon Steel Low Temperature Carbon Steel Alloy Steel Stainless Steel 4.5 As you may see from our catalogue, we have a very wide range of components

available form large spring units to U Bolts and steelwork fabrications. We carry extensive stocks of component supports, and these are available immediately direct from our works either in Thailand or UK. All constant and variable spring units are assembled on site to suit the unique loads and deflections advised to ourselves. We advise that we also carry extensive stocks of the component items required for the assembly of the spring units. Over the last 20 years there has been a large amount of oil and gas work in the Norwegian and North Sea sectors, and approximately 85% of all platforms utilise Carpenter & Paterson spring supports. With this in mind it has been necessary to have a flexible and fast track approach to urgent requirements on site. We are therefore able often to complete urgently required spring support units in 4 / 5 days ex-works, but often on large projects we will have an upfront project meeting to discuss all requirements of the program, quality plans and all other relevant details. Because of our computerised progress program we are able to give exact details of the situation on any order at any time.

7.2 OTHER IN-HOUSE ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES 7.2.1 Piping Engineering

CAESAR II, PIPING STRESS ANALYSIS as well as various European standards which include:

Thermal Analysis – analysis for free and restrained thermal growth

conditions

Dead Weight Analysis – analysis as ambient temperature with a system of hangers at specific locations to support the weight of the system, for allowable stress and reactions at equipment connections.

Seismic Analysis – either equivalent static or dynamic analysis

Wind Load Analysis – equivalent static stress analysis

Transient Analysis – for various transient loading conditions such as

turbine trip, pipe whip, safety relief valve trip etc.

7.3 SITE INSPECTIONS AND SURVEYS

During the late 1970s and the early 1980s requests for technical assistance associated with engineered products increased significantly. These requests were a result of the dramatic increase in the size and overall magnitude of piping system projects, boilers, ducts and related components. To meet the increased demand for service requests and technology Carpenter & Paterson expanded their in-house capabilities in the following areas involving pipe supports and piping, along with a variety of inspection techniques.

Inspection of piping systems including regular and periodic inspection of spring supports, with troubleshooting of unique problems associated with operating occurrences.

Snubber technology, including installation, maintenance, testing and repair of

hydraulic snubbers.

Management of pipe support system projects, including outage supervision.

Training for client engineers.
