The operational safety of pipe systems and therefore the availability and long life of the plants is dependent to a large degree on the condition and functional capacity of the supports employed.

To avoid costly damage and operational breakdown the regular inspection of thermal movement in piping systems and the condition of supports - especially in older installations - is urgently advised.

Plant service

Additional stress and strain caused by low-quality pipe supports during pipe system operation can lead to long-term damage that considerably increases the risk of malfunction and breakdown when the plant is in operation.

Faults frequently occurring in pipe supports are:
