Cryogenic Pipe Supports, often called Cold Shoes, are used in cryogenic applications to prevent heat build-up, condensation and ice formation. These brackets are usually made of materials with excellent heat resistance, such as polyurethane or foam glass, to maintain the required low temperature within the pipe.
Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports Standards:
A. ANSI/ASME B31.1 & B31.3
B. Manufacturers Standardization Society SP-58, 69, & 89.
Cryogenic Pipe Supports Base Type:
Resting, Base Insulated, Sliding, Guided, Anchor, Others
Low-temperature pre-insulated pipe supports General Requirements:
A. Vertical, lateral and axial support design load limits.
B. Vertical, lateral, and axial support design travel limits.
C. The temperature of the cryogenic pipe support, at the pipe surface, and ambient conditions.
D. All test or pre-operational loads that may exceed normal operating conditions.
E. Any dimensional clearances needed during installation and operation should be specified.
F. Material for any items that will be welded directly to the pipe.
G. All loading and displacements caused by seismic, hydraulic surge, or other disturbances.
H. The temperature at the support steel.
• Before placing an order, all special requirements such as mill test reports, material certification or non-standard materials must be specified according to the purchaser or the end user
