4. Overview Liquefied Natural Gas Liquefied Petroleum Gas Power Plants Polypropylene Plants Polyethylene Plants Steam Water Pipelines For more than 10 years, Piping Technology & Products, Inc. has been a major international supplier of pre-insulated pipe supports for a variety of applications: Chilled Water Pipelines Chemical Plants Nitrogen Production Plants Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Pipelines Cogeneration Plants
9. Production - Workflow Pour Insulation (H.D. PUF) Finish Foam (machine foam, fit to pipe size template, apply vapor barrier, etc.) Fabricate Steel (pipe shield, pipe shoe, etc.) Assemble/Bond Pipe Shoe (combine insulation and steel)
10. Production - Polyurethane foam Automatic Foam Mixing Machine uses shear mixing head produces homogeneous mixture of polyol and isocyanate to form polyurethane Mixing Head (shear mixing, mixes polyols and isocyanates)
11. Production - Polyurethane foam Steel Molds for foam production
12. Production - Polyurethane foam Foam is poured into molds steel molds are fabricated in PT&P shop great flexibility to meet volume production demands Steel mold (for given ID and OD)
13. Production - Polyurethane foam Demolding of PUF Cure Time function of insulation thickness and insulation density Wax allows for easy demolding of PUF
15. Production - Polyurethane foam Pipe Template (ensures snug fit between insulation and pipe) Visual Inspection : Check resulting foam for inconsistencies.
16. Production - Polyurethane foam Machining Foam (automatic routing machine, band saw machine) Cut to length foam
18. Cryogenic Pipe Shoes Dual Density Shoe (more economical and effective from insulation standpoint) Staggered Layers (eliminates vapor path, both axially and laterally)
19. Cryogenic Pipe Shoes Steel and Foam Bonded (PUF is bonded to steel) Vapor Barrier (aluminum)
20. Cryogenic Pipe Shoes 36” cryogenic pipe shoes that include base stops to prevent lateral and axial movement of the anchor
21. Cryogenic Pipe Shoes - Large Diameter Three-Layer Cold Shoes 30” Pipe with 7 ½” Insulation 40” Pipe with 8 ½” Insulation
34. Product Testing - Lateral Load Test Pull test for 30” dia. base insulated support QC Mgr. simulates operation condition by applying liquid nitrogen & vertical load to the support PT&P & client engineers reviewing the results
35. Product Testing - Compressive Strength Testing Compressive Strength Test
36. Product Testing - Axial Load Test at Cryogenic Temperature Axial Load Test at Cryogenic Temperature
