Mechanical Sciences Hangers

A hanger that provides constant support for piping throughout the full range of expansion and contraction. Constant support hangers are generally used to support critical piping systems

Pipe hanger construction and installation depend on:

There are two basic classifications of pipe hangers

Flexible hangers can be classified as two types:

Hangers that typically support critical piping systems

Normally used at locations where no vertical movement occurs

Rigid hangers can be divided into two main categories

Type of pipe hanger available for more complex piping systems

Snubbers have two types:

Used as seismic restraints where loading is cyclic and requires rapid alternating restraint in two directions along a single axis

Mechanical snubbers perform their duty through a couple of different designs
