There are several types of steel pipe supports for thermal expansion, including rigid supports, flexible supports, and guided supports. Rigid supports are typically used for straight pipe runs and provide a fixed point of support. Flexible supports, such as spring hangers or variable spring supports, allow for vertical movement of the pipe due to thermal expansion. Guided supports, on the other hand, restrict movement in all directions except axial movement, helping to maintain the alignment of the pipe during thermal expansion.
There are several types of steel pipe supports for thermal expansion, including fixed supports, sliding supports, and variable spring supports. Fixed supports are rigid and do not allow for movement, while sliding supports allow for limited axial movement. Variable spring supports use mechanical springs to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, providing continuous support while allowing for movement.
There are several different types of steel pipe supports that can be used for thermal expansion, including rigid supports, sliding supports, and spring supports. Rigid supports provide fixed support to the pipe and do not allow for any movement. Sliding supports allow the pipe to move horizontally as it expands or contracts, while still providing vertical support. Spring supports use springs to support the weight of the pipe and allow for vertical movement as well as thermal expansion.
