Heavy Duty Constant Spring Hanger

Yangzhou Tianshun Pipeline Technology Co., Ltd., founded in 2012, is an integrated industry and trade enterprise focusing on R&D and manufacturing of pipeline support products. Over the past 14 years, we have served power, petrochemical and energy projects in more than 40 countries around the world, and won long-term trust from customers with stable product quality. The Heavy Duty Constant Spring Hanger is our flagship product developed for large-load and high-requirement working conditions. It has been systematically strengthened in materials, structure and technology to provide reliable guarantee for the safe operation of pipelines under extreme working conditions.

What are Heavy Duty Working Conditions? Why Special Hangers are Needed

In large industrial projects, there is a special type of pipeline system:

▶  Large-diameter thick-walled pipelines: Above DN600, wall thickness over 20mm

▶  Heavy-weight pipeline systems: Load per lifting point over 200kN, some over 500kN

▶  High-temperature and high-pressure main pipelines: Power plant main steam, high-temperature process pipelines of refining units

▶  Long-span pipelines: Large-span pipe sections in pipe galleries with large concentrated loads

If ordinary constant force hangers are used for these heavy-duty pipelines, the following problems are very likely to occur:

▶  Shell deformation and cracking: Load exceeds structural bearing limit

▶  Insufficient spring stiffness: Excessive compression, loss of constant force characteristics

▶  Pin shear failure: Insufficient strength of connecting parts

▶  Suspension rod tensile deformation: Small diameter rod, overloading extension

The Heavy Duty Constant Spring Hanger is a reinforced product specially developed for such working conditions, with systematic strengthening from all dimensions of materials, structure and technology.

Heavy Duty Failure Cases and Lessons

According to industry statistics, heavy duty working conditions account for more than 60% of pipeline support failure accidents:

Case 1: Main steam pipeline of a power plant

Problem: Adopted ordinary constant force hanger, load per lifting point 280kNConsequence: Shell side plate cracked after 3 years of operation, pipeline sank 120mmLoss: 15 days of shutdown maintenance, direct loss over 10 million RMB

Case 2: High-temperature pipeline of a refining unit

Problem: Hanger pin diameter was too small, strength decreased at high temperatureConsequence: Pin shear fracture, pipeline fell, causing medium leakageLesson: Heavy duty hangers must be calculated for strength separately according to actual working conditions

Case 3: Cold box pipeline of an LNG terminal

Problem: Material embrittlement at low temperature, ordinary Q235 shell crackedConsequence: Pipeline displacement out of control, cold box interface flange leakageImprovement: Heavy duty hangers adopt low-temperature toughness materials

In 14 years of industry experience, Yangzhou Tianshun Pipeline Technology has handled many similar heavy duty support failure transformation projects, and deeply understands the particularity and risks of heavy duty working conditions.
