Cryogenic (Cold) Supports
     
  General information
    Developed to support cold piping with applications ranging from chilled water to liquefied natural gas. The qualified service temperature is between -425 º F (-253 º C) and 275 º F (135 º C). These 'cold' supports serve the following benefits:
  • Prevents the formation of condensation on and around piping system.
  • Prevents moisture ingress into the piping insulation.
  • Preserves the process temperature of the fluid in the pipe.
  • Prevents the chilling of the supporting structure.
  • Prevents the use and welding of high cost of alloy supports to alloy piping.

  Support Designs
   
Design  Drawing  Description
Resting  Available soon Insulated supports that restrain the pipe vertically but allow axial and lateral movements. Some of Rilco's designs, such as the IG-90-SLR and IG-180-SLR are constructed of high density polyurethane with a galvanized metal pan between the foam and the support steel. Other designs, such as CS-1000, CS-2000 have a full outer steel housing which is clamped around the insulation unit.
Guided  Available soon Insulated supports that restrain the pipe vertically and laterally but allow axial movement. Guide clips or vertical guide members are provided with these designs, which are attached to the supporting structure and restrain the lateral movement of the support. Some of these designs include Rilco's CG-3000 and Rilco's CG-4000
Anchor  Available soon Insulated supports that restrain the pipe vertically, laterally and axially. Anchor supports are provided with  guide clips which are used to prevent lateral movement.  Some typical Rilco anchors are CA-4000 and CA-4100.
Clamp Hanger  Available soon Insulated supports that restrain the pipe vertically by using a pipe clamp which clamped the insulated pipe. In other words, the pipe is supported by a clamp and the insulation is between the clamp and the pipe. Typical material for the insulation is high density polyurethane foam. Rilco's commonly sold models are CH-1000 and CH-1100.
     
  Support Components
   
Type  Photo Description
High density polyurethane foam Available soon Best material for cold insulation. Rilco manufactures 6, 8,10, 15, 20 and 30 lb./cubic ft. density foam. Other densities also available as "custom" products. Denser foam are more rigid and thermally conductive than lighter density foam. The foam section can be stepped both radically and longitudinally to tie in with the same layering thickness as the line insulation to prevent straight heat path to the pipe.
Vapor barrier Available soon  A paper or plastics back sheet that is used to wrap 360º around the foam section to protect moisture ingress. The vapor barrier is then glued to the foam and typically overlap the joint between the two insulation halves by at least 1 in. (25mm). However, some Rilco designs, such as IG-90-SLR typically do not require vapor barrier. 
Protective mastic Available soon Often times, the pipe supports is installed on the pipe weeks or even months before the insulation is installed. This condition leaves the ends support exposed to the sun and rain. To protect the supports from these elements, Rilco applies mastic on the exposed surfaces of the supports.
Outer sheet metal jacket  Available soon A standard feature on most Rilco designs. This metal jacket is wrapped around the foam section and outside the vapor barrier.
Steel housing with base components  Available soon Designed to provide adequate support for the insulation section while properly transferred the load to be restrained to the supporting structure.

      2 Insulated pipe supports shall comply with the latest edition of the following:
        ANSI/ASME B31.1 & B31.3.
        Manufactures Standardization Society (MSC) SP-58, 69 & 89.
      3 Considerations shall be given to the following criteria in the selection of insulated pipe supports:
  • Vertical, lateral and axial support design load limits.
  • Vertical, lateral and axial support design travel limits.
  • Support temperature design limit both at the pipe and support outside ambient temperature.
  • Any test or installation loadings or displacements that may exceed normal system operating conditions.
  • Required dimensional clearances needed during installation and system operation should be specified.
  • Localized lugs and pipe stresses for insulated pipe supports requiring lugs or welded attachments welded to the pipe. Material of the welded attachments should compatible with the pipe.
  • Consideration should be given to loadings and displacement resulting from seimic, water hammer and similar conditions.
      4 At the request of the owner or his designee, calculations and other related documentation which
        demonstrate adequacy and compliance of the insulated support with the design requirements shall be made available for his review.
      5 At the request of the owner or his designee, localized stress calculations for lugs or other welded
        pipe attachments shall be made available for his review.
      6 Any special requirements, such as material test reports or certified mill test reports shall be
        specified in advance.
    3. Design Criteria
      1 The load bearing insulating material used in the supplied insulated support shall be of the same
        material that was used to load rate the support.
      2 At the request of the owner or  his designee, supplier shall make available compressive strength
        and thermal conductivity testing results of high density polyurethane by an independent laboratory in a format provided for in MSS SP-89. Testing of material shall take place at a maximum temperature of -260 º F (-176 º C).
      3 At the request of the owner or his designee, a description of the basis used to load rate the insulated pipe support shall be provided for evaluation. A minimum safety factor of 5 at the system design temperature shall be used in determine the insulate pipe support load rating.
         
      4 The testing used to establish load bearing insulation compressive properties shall comply with
        ASTM D 1621, Standard Test Method for Compressive Properties of Rigid Cellular plastics.
      5 The testing used to establish thermal conductivity properties of high density polyurethane shall

      6 The load bearing element load capacity shall be demonstrated at the piping system design
        temperature and load.
      7 The insulated pipe support assembly shall exert a minimum clamping force on the pipe to assure
        that the assembly will move axially with the pipe and not slip relatively to the pipe when subjected to the design conditions.
      8 All sliding surfaces shall be designed in such a manner as to limit the coefficient of friction to 0.1
        for the system design life without requiring lubrication. Care shall be exercised in the selection of the sliding surface material to assure that corrosion of the sliding surface will not adversely affect the coefficient of  friction over time. Any friction reducing material used that requires bonding shall be bonded to the backing structure prior to shipment.
      9 All sliding surfaces shall be designed in such a manner as to limit the coefficient of friction to 0.1
        for the system de
