Different Types of Pipeline Supports


Supports are necessary, no matter whether it is for a building standing straight or a pipeline going horizontally beneath the grounds. Depending upon which, exists some Standard Pipeline Supports. There are times when a pipeline faces a problem depending upon the weight of substance flowing inside it, making it necessary for them to have support that can make functioning easy going.

These supports do not only manage fluctuating loads but also work towards anchoring, guiding and absorbing shock in the pipelines.

There are three types of  Pipeline Supports  based on construction, namely:


Rigid Supports:

Alike its name, this kind of support works at its best in restricting any kind of movement, if not both, in one direction at least. This function, makes the support type convenient for being used in maximum of pipelines.  

Adjustable Supports:

These supports are although rigid in construction, but are totally adjustable in nature. Nuts and bolts arrangements in this support type make it possible for people to adjust according to their needs. This nature here helps in Cable Stabilization making it reliable for being used as a support in various pipelines.

Elastic Supports:

Being elastic in nature, this type of support is generally used in hot piping. These supports are also well-known for holding pipes even during their constant movement up and down.
