Variable Spring Supports


Pipework and/or vessels subject to temperature
change or subsidence, etc. which give rise to vertical
displacements should be supported by a resilient
device which will absorb/accommodate the
movement. For relatively small displacements (up to
about 75mm) the variable spring support is
recommended. The Carpenter & Paterson standard
range of variable spring supports are produced in four
basic travel ranges; 35mm, 70mm,140mm and
210mm. These are designated DV35, DV70, DV140
and DV210 respectively. The travels stated are the
maximum working range of the springs. This full travel
can be used providing the necessary calculations are
carried out to ensure that the connecting equipment
and pipework can withstand the large load changes
that occur during pipe movement. Most national
standards do limit the load variation to maximum of
25%. It is therefore usual to select variable spring
supports on this basis.
In keeping with generally accepted practice, we
recommend that the actual pipe load is correctly
supported when the pipe is in its normal working
position. This ensures no abnormal or excessive
forces, due to out of balance supporting effort, is
transferred to the pipework in its stressed working
condition.
Whether this or any other principle is followed for the
selection of variable spring supports, care must be
taken to ensure that sufficient travel is available in the
spring assembly to permit free movement of the pipe
within the required pipework movement range cold or
hot.

This improved range of variable spring supports has


been developed and is introduced for normal power
plant and petrochemical applications. Where severe
corrosive conditions are encountered, such as offshore installations, or complete sterility is required,
such as food process plants. The unit can be supplied
in the usual painted finishes or due to its unique
construction, can be completely coated both internally
and externally prior to assembly.
All our variable spring units are supplied with a green
synthetic resin hammer finish as standard, but our
unique design allows for other combinations of finishes
for particularly corrosive environments, etc:
Helical coil: Plastic coated. Casing and other
components; Hot dip galvanised, with threaded items
galvanised or zinc-plated. Alternatively, we are able to
manufacture all our units in a range of austenitic
stainless steel if required. With the exception of sizes
0-2 all units are supplied preset to customers design
load. Down travel hydrostatic test stop will be provided
by request.
All preset load and hydrostatic test stops must be
removed prior to operation of the equipment.
The normal hydrostatic test load is twice the rated load
of the support.
In addition to the DV range of variable spring supports
Carpenter & Paterson manufacture a range of small
compact spring supports for travels up to 150mm and
loads up to 270.N(27Kg). (See page 55 for details and
selection table).

Variable Spring Supports


Type Selection
The type of spring to be used is normally determined by the
physical characteristics of the structure to which the spring
assembly will be attached, as shown by the typical
applications.

Method of Selection
In order to select the correct spring hanger size it is
necessary to know the actual load which the spring is to
support (inclusive of pipe weight, insulation, contents and
ancillary equipment). Also the magnitude and direction of
the pipe line movement from the cold to the hot position, the
actual load is the hot load. The cold load (preset load) is
calculated by adding (up movement) or subtracting (down
movement) the product of the spring rate times the
movement to the hot load, e.g.:
Cold Load (MVT.UP) = Hot Load + (MVT. x Spring Rate).
Cold Load (MVT.DN) = Hot Load - (MVT. x Spring Rate).

Using the Selection Table (either N or Kg)


1. Select the actual support load in the body of the
table.
2. Check that the support travel can be accommodated
within the recommended working range of the unit
size selected by reading the table up or down,
dependent on the pipe movement direction. It should
be noted that the chart must be read
opposite from the direction of the pipe movement.
3. If the movement can be accommodated then by
using 25% as the maximum load change cold to hot
the travel series can be established.
Variability
= Movement X Spring Rate x 100
(% Load Change)
Hot Load

EXAMPLE:Actual Load (Hot Load) = 10789 N.


Pipe Movement 20mm down cold to hot.
Maximum variation from cold to hot load = 25%.

Using N Selection Table


47

Enter table at 10789 N. This is located in size 12 column.


Since the pipe movement is down, move up the column

for a distance of 20 mm. This travel is acceptable for all


travel series, therefore unit size 12 is selected.

Check Variability
Variability
= Movement X Spring Rate x 100
(% Load Change)
Hot Load

From lower chart select spring rate for DV35 Size 12 =


157.6 N/mm
V = 20 x 157.6 x 100 = 29.2%
10789

This would not be acceptable.


Select spring rate for DV70 size 12 = 78.8 N/mm
V = 20 x 78.8 x 100 = 14.6%
10789

This is acceptable.
UNIT SELECTED WOULD BE DV70 SIZE 12
Preset Load = Actual Load - (Movement x Spring Rate)
Preset Load = 10789 - (20 x 78.8) = 9213N
Unit to be ordered would be DV70 Size 12.
Preset Load = 9213N Hot Load = 10789 N.

Calculating the Rod take out for a Hanging


Type Support
Having selected the support type, series and size, the next
step is to calculate the rod take out. Note that the rod take
out dimension listed in the various tables is given for
specific types, the dimension is always given at the
minimum load position. To calculate the rod take out for
example DV70/A/16 Preset Load = 33861 N (Refer to table
on page 60).
Firstly, refer to table on page 52.
At the intersection of a horizontal line from size
column to a vertical line down from column headed
rod take out type A - we obtain a rod take out of 376 mm.
This is at the minimum load position. To this
dimension we must add the amount of
precompression from the minimum load position to
the preset load position.
Refer now to the size selection table, (page 48).
Enter the body of the table where the load of 33861 N reads
in the size 16 column, moving horizontally to the left to read
the amount of precompression required for a series DV70

spring. In this example the precompression is


40 mm. The rod take out = 376 + 40 = 416 mm.
Other loads are treated in a similar manner.
Intermediate precompression dimensions are obtained by
linear interpolation.

To calculate loaded length X for F type


Base Mounted Support
Having selected the support type, series and size, the next
step is to calculate the loaded length. Note that the loaded
length dimension listed in the various tables is given as
minimum and maximum.
The maximum figure should be used for calculation
purposes.
EXAMPLE:Calculate the loaded length for DV140/F/10, preset load =
5414N. (Ref. to table page 53).
At the intersection of a horizontal line from hanger size
column to a vertical line down from column headed Loaded
Length X, Type F max. - we obtain a height of 778 mm. This
is at the minimum load position. From this dimension we
must subtract the amount of
precompression from the minimum load position to the
preset load position. Refer now to size selection table,
(page 48), and enter the body of the table where the load of
5414N reads in the size 10 column and moving horizontally
to the left read the amount of precompression required for
a series DV140 spring. In this example the precompression
is 60 mm. Therefore the loaded length = 778-60 = 718 mm.
Other loads are treated in a similar manner. Intermediate
precompression dimensions are obtained by linear
interpolation.

Cautionary Note Base Mounted Type


DV35 and DV70 all sizes.
Lateral loads on Base Mounted Supports shall be limited to
25% of the maximum working load. Where higher loads are
envisaged consideration shall be given to the fitting of
P.T.F.E. slider pads or rollers (Type K).
DV140 and DV210 all sizes.
Lateral loads on Base Mounted Supports shall be limited to
15% of the maximum working load. Where higher loads are
envisaged consideration shall be given to the fitting of
P.T.F.E. slider pads or rollers (Type K).

Additional Information for all Variable Spring Supports


Installation Instructions

Preset Lock Removal

Adjustment

Hanging type supports, typically Type A, are installed


in position on the supporting steelwork, the sling rod is
connected between the pipe attachment (clamp or lug)
and the spring hanger turnbuckle. Rotation of the
turnbuckle, transfers the pipe load to the spring
hanger. Base mounted supports typically Type F are
located in the desired position beneath the pipe - load
is transferred from the pipe to the support by means of
rotating the central column. (Typical applications are
shown on page 46). Detailed installation instructions
are available on request.

This range of variable spring supports is preset to the


installed load position prior to despatch from our works.
The preset locks are fitted with a label drawing
attention to the fact that these must be removed prior
to system operation. When fitted, the hydrostatic locks
prevent the spring deflecting during hydrostatic tests.
They also must be removed prior to system operation.
The preset locks fitted to hanging types are removed
by rotating the turnbuckle to increase load until the
locks are free - the locks are then withdrawn from the
spring unit.
In the case of the base mounted type, simply rotate the
centre column to increase load until the locks are free
- the locks are then withdrawn from the spring unit. For
the removal of hydrostatic test locks the procedure is
repeated, except the turnbuckle/load column is rotated
to reduce load.
All locks are removed by cutting the temporary banding
holding them in position in the unit.
The locks can then be withdrawn.

When installed the spring units should be adjusted until


the load indicators point to the installed load position.
The units should be checked following a reasonable
period of operation (preferably in the operating
condition). The load indicator should be indicating the
operating load. If minor differences are apparent then
the units should be adjusted to the operating position;
no further adjustments should be necessary. If major
differences are noted then either consult the designer
or Carpenter & Patersons Engineering department for
advice, prior to making adjustments.

Standard Code of Practice


All piping systems shall be supported by means of supports satisfactory to the
designing engineer and having an individual means of vertical adjustment for
levelling of lines after piping is in place.

The following conditions are desirable:a The sum of the pipeline weights must equal the sum of the supporting forces.
b The sum of the moments of piping weight at their centre of gravity and the
supporting forces shall be equal to zero.
c Constant Support Hangers must be calibrated to support the calculated load
of the piping system.

Adjustable hanger supports will be provided with either turnbuckle integral with sling
rod assembly or threaded rod passing through support structure with rocker washer
and nuts.
Roll Supports may be used on piping where there is longitudinal movement due to
temperature changes.

Vibration Controls shall be installed in flexible lines where required to dampen


vibration or lateral movement.

Pipe Covering Protection Saddles should be used on steam supply and return piping
with a roll of sufficient size to take the saddle.

Anchors shall be installed to permit the line to take up its expansion and
contraction freely in opposite directions away from the anchored point and shall
be so designed for the particular location and loading conditions.

Supports to be so spaced as to prevent sag of the pipe and to ensure proper drainage
of the pipe line.

Where Expansion Joints are used Pipe Guides shall be installed to allow the
expansion and contraction of the pipe line to move freely within the expansion
joint.

Variable Spring Supports shall be located at points that are subjected to vertical
thermal movement and where a variation in load up to 25 per cent is allowable.
Constant Support Hangers shall be installed where the piping is subjected to vertical
movement and where minimum variation in supporting force is required.

In addition to the components illustrated in this catalogue, we manufacture the full


range of support components in accordance with British Standards
