Disc springs provide pipe support
13 November 2013
Spirol Disc Springs can provide a robust, maintenance-free support system for industrial pipe systems.

Industrial pipe systems are primarily supported by rod hangers, base line or base elbow supports. While these static supports are used to carry weight, dynamic supports are necessary to control loads on the pipe system and for these applications Spirol Disc Springs provide a solution.
For example, in heat exchanger applications, Spirol Disc Springs can be used to accept thermal dynamics. As the temperature of the fluid within the pipe changes, the pipe will expand when hot and contract when cold.
Spirol Disc Springs support the system by maintaining a constant pressure at any temperature. This consistency is transmitted to the pipe joint to maintain a proper seal. A well sealed gasket prevents fluids from escaping and reduces maintenance.
