Fixing and sliding supports

Solutions for pipes with thermal expansion
Installation of pipelines is a complex process that requires taking into account not only the loads from its own weight, but also the influence of temperature deformations. An incorrect approach can lead to leaks, shortening the system lifetime and deformation of the system.

UTECH's solution allows you to effectively control thermal expansion. Thanks to a suitable combination of UTECH sliding and fixing supports, you can give the pipeline system a well-defined structure in which the pipe movement is evenly distributed along the route.

Advantages

  • Perfect fit for both horizontal and vertical pipelines
  • Wide range of applications for fixing pipes at a distance from the base from 0.085 m to 2 m with a maximum load of 36 kN
  • MSG transverse sliding supports allow the pipe to move in two directions, which is especially important when the pipeline route turns
  • Maximum flexibility in the location of anchor holes, which allows you to avoid hitting the reinforcement
  • The bearing capacity of the elements and the coefficient of friction have been confirmed by calculations and field tests
  • Engineering support in the calculation and placement of supports in the START software package

Comparison of UTECH solution with a traditional method
Modern installation systems outperforms from the traditional method using metal welding in the speed of installation, durability of the structure and ease of operation.

UTECH solution

  • Easy and fast installation
  • The installation is carried out by one employee without special qualifications
  • Installation is carried out with a standard set of tools
  • Reliable fastening – the use of anchors with high load-bearing capacity confirmed by certificates
  • The estimated axial load of the pipe clamp is from 400 kg
  • Galvanized coating that does not require additional processing
  • Aesthetic appearance - neat shape of the support

Traditional solution (welded metal)

  • Labor-intensive and time-consuming installation
  • Additional measures are required to organize work in compliance with safety regulations
  • The installation is carried out by two employees: a welder and an installer.
  • Welding where damage to pipes is possible in case of thin-walled pipes
  • Unreliable fasteners – the use of anchors with low bearing capacity
  • Not possible to use with welding of the stainless and galvanized pipes according to SP73
The choice between traditional installation using welded metal and modern UTECH installation systems depends on many factors, such as the specifics of the project, budget, installation time requirements and durability.
Traditional methods can be a good solution under certain conditions, however, UTECH installation systems offer significant advantages in installation speed, weight, stability and reliability. Therefore, when choosing a method, it is necessary to carefully evaluate all factors and choose the optimal solution in each specific case.
