TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The products outlined in this catalog - STANDARD SUPPORTS 2010 - are fully in line with the latest developments in support technology and satisfy general requirements for plant installation at the highest level. For the general design of LISEGA standard supports, uniform criteria are applied. They are described in the following TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS and are binding for the contents of this catalog. Componentrelated features are outlined in the corresponding sections of the product groups and in the type data sheets Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the stipulations in the catalog STANDARD SUPPORTS 2010 apply to all our shipments. 1. STANDARD SUPPORTS 1.1 Requirements For the support of industrial piping systems, the use of standard supports is regarded as well proven, up-to-date technology. Only a correspondingly high level of standardization in support components can adequately satisfy the justifiable demand for products that are technically top-class and economically attractive at the same time. The complex requirements for modern pipe supports are: reliable functioning maintenance-free operation low unit prices simple planning with DP systems instant availability economical installation strategy easy to install designs supplementary service benefits Standard supports are pipe support components, the construction of which, in form and dimensions as well as in the design data relating to loading capacity, is certificated and cataloged, and which are manufactured according to firmly established, reproducible procedures, e.g. series production. 2. LISEGA STANDARD SUPPORTS 2.1 Scope At LISEGA, standard supports form the basis of a comprehensive performance package. A complete program from more than 8000 standardized components thereby covers all operational loads, temperatures and travel ranges normally met in piping systems in industrial plant construction: 1200F operating temperature for pipe clamps and clamp bases

1.2 Definition Standard supports must fulfill the following criteria: component shapes are uniform and designed for optimum exploitation of material units are compatible regarding connecting dimensions and loading capacity units are cataloged and clearly identifiable by a designation system components are manufactured in series production components comply with the relevant standards and international regulations functional capacity, suitability and durability of the units is well proven components are certified and approved for use The relevant codes for pipe supports in German plant construction (power plants), VGB guideline R 510 L, require the preferential use of standard supports and define the criteria as follows:

90 kips nominal load for all mainly statically determined components 224 kips nominal load for rigid struts and standard shock absorbers 1124 kips design load for large bore shock absorbers 36 inch travel range for constant hangers 16 inch travel range for spring hangers 2.2 Design features Specially developed components are available for the various support functions. In the design and construction of the units, fundamental design principles have been taken into consideration: symmetrical design shapes compact installation dimensions especially reliable function principles extra wide adjustment ranges fully compatible load ranges and connection dimensions favorable performance/weight ratios integrated installation aids

In addition, LISEGA hangers feature only one upper attachment point. As a result, and due also to the compact and symmetrical design shape, the load transfer free of moments to the connecting elements is ensured and simple installation enabled. The operational position of the moving parts (hangers, supports and shock absorbers) can be read directly off a travel scale. Load adjustment of the constant hangers and supports can be modified at all times, also in the installed condition under load. Hangers and supports can be blocked in any travel position. 2.3 Principle of the optimum design type For the design of support components, optimum coverage of the specific support function is the decisive factor. For each function only one component is therefore required, namely, the optimum one for the purpose. The project engineer is spared costly selection from a series of alternative solutions. This not only facilitates application but also increases safety. Above and beyond this, it is a prerequisite for the rational application of standardized construction on the principle of the modular system. Theres only ONE best solution! 3. LISEGA MODULAR SYSTEM 3.1 Fundamentals The cost of pipe supports is a major element in the total cost of a piping system. The cost of the supports is the accumulated total cost arising from: project management (processing) design and engineering work use of materials (components) as well as installation work The LISEGA modular system is specially targeted towards this efficiency. The standardization of components forms the foundation and is the precondition for rational series production, dependable quality, systematic warehousing and computer assisted application. With the LICAD design system and corresponding logistics, significant rationalization effects can be achieved in engineering, design and installation. 3.2 Scope The standardization at LISEGA extends beyond the components to their systematic interaction. To this end, load and travel distribution as well as function and connections are meaningfully coordinated. In this way the LISEGA standard support program has been developed as a functional modular system with logical linking. The individual units form modules therein and are compatible regarding loads and connections. This enables the formation of meaningful combinations to produce support configurations fulfilling all requirements. The large selection of components makes adaptation possible to widely differing support and application situations. Product groups 3.3 Product groups The standardized units are divided into 7 product groups according to their basic modes of function (see diagram, page 0.3, and table, Standardized Components, page 0.4). 3.4 Load groups To guarantee compatible loads in unit combinations, the load spectrum is split into fixed load groups. Within a load group (nominal load), all components feature uniform load limits and stress safety characteristics. The connection shapes of the units (threads - either metric or UNC according to market area - or pin diameters) are uniform within a group and thus compatible. Components of different product groups can therefore be connected only within a uniform load group to safe load chains and the faulty combination of different load groups is precluded. As all units in a load group are designed uniformly regarding strength, the stresses on a complete chain of components + load groups + travel ranges + connection compatibility = Modular System =================== The economic principle: = from the least possible effort the maximum possible profit = Total Cost Minimum/TCM =====================

Modular System + CAD design + DP logitic systems = High tech application ===================

The pipe supports are almost always critical for the commissioning deadline and can, through delayed delivery, cause incalculable extra costs. The aim of LISEGA product strategy is to forge, out of all the cost factors involved, the common cost minimum for the user in the sense of the economic principle.

are uniformly determined. For permissible stresses, a difference is made between statically and dynamically determined components. The units in product groups 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are stressed in only one load direction (statically or quasistatically) and are considered to be statically determined components. The components in Product Group 3, as well as their accessories, are loaded in alternating directions and are therefore regarded as dynamically determined components. 3.5 Permissible loads The permissible loads for components, arranged in matrix form according to load

groups and load cases, are set out in the LISEGA load tables (see page 0.5). The definition of load cases is regulated according to ASME III, Div. 1 Subsection NF, ASME B 31.1/MSS SP58 and DIN 18800, VGB-R 510 L, KTA 3205. The load table applies uniformly to all components in the LISEGA modular system and to other LISEGA units systematically connected to it, e.g. integral special designs (see load table, page 0.5).

3.5.1 Static components The nominal load is used for the determination of load groups. For the statically determined components in Product Groups 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, the nominal load corresponds to the max. adjustment load of the spring elements, such as spring hangers and constant hangers. The maximum permissible hot load (load case H) lies considerably higher than the nominal load when components are used as rigid supports, and is tied to the load capacity of the connection threads. LISEGA threaded rods should therefore only be replaced in kind (see page 6.5, 6.6). Spring and constant hangers in the blocked position also count as rigid supports, whereby for cold loads in hydrostatic tests (short duration) the emergency loads (level C) can be exploited. For Product Group 4 (pipe connections) a limited area of overlapping in the load groups is foreseen, due to the temperature-related, variable spectrum of loading capacities. Data on the permissible loads relating to the respective operating temperature are set out for pipe connection components in the individual type data sheets. For Product Group 5 see 3.5.5, page 0.5.

Threaded connecting elements

3.5.2 Dynamic components For dynamically determined units, the stipulation of the nominal loads follows from the meaningful division of the standardizable load spectrum. Here, the nominal load corresponds at the same time to the operating load for load event level A/B (ASME). As these components are generally used to guard against emergencies, the load event level C (ASME), possibly even level D, is usually adopted as the max. expected operating load. In each case the project engineers instructions apply.

All loads are to be included hereunder that can possibly result from the normal operation of the plant, including start-up and shutdown, load tolerances and hydrostatic tests. Loads outside normal operation are grouped hereunder, possibly also hydrostatic tests. In each case a final inspection of the whole support arrangement is recommended. For the given loads, the yield stress of components can be reached. In each case replacement is recommended.

3.5.4 Max. permissible loads (lbs) for dynamically determined components, Product Group 3
Hereunder all dynamic loads are to be included that can possibly result from plant operation, including pressure shock forces from valve operation, and perhaps operating basis earthquakes (OBE). Hereunder all the dynamic loads are grouped which lie outside normal operation, as for example safe shutdown earthquakes (SSE). In each case a final inspection of the whole support arrangement is recommended. Dynamic loads from faulted conditions. For the given loads, the yield stress of components can be reached. Replacement is recommended in each case. Load groups 1 and 2 are load and connection compatible, whereby load group 1 applies to the smallest shock absorber and load group 2 to the corresponding rigid struts and weld-on brackets.

6. QUALIFICATION LEVELS FOR STANDARD AND NUCLEAR APPLICATION Standard supports have the same function both in the conventional and in the nuclear field of application, and therefore do not

differ in design. Due to additional qualityassuring measures and materials with special certification, separate manufacture is however necessary.

0.9

0
In the field of nuclear application, all materials are traceable right through to the finished product via heat number restamping, and the components themselves are marked according to ASME and KTA regulations. In the type designation, the nuclear design is noted in the 5th digit (for struts, the 6th digit). The relevant component documentation relates to this and to the fabrication order number. In this catalog, the standard design, i.e. nonnuclear applications, provides the basis for the type designations. As the given functional data and unit dimensions are the same for nuclear applications, selection can also be made here with the help of the catalog. On planning or ordering, attention must however be paid to corresponding conformity of the type designations. The table showing the type designation system (3.8, page 0.7) can be consulted in this respect. 7. WELDING All welding is carried out as gas metal arc welding - in special cases by stick welding. LISEGA holds certifications according to: ASME III Div I NCA NPT stamp DIN EN 729-2 by the German TV AD-HPO, production and testing of pressure vessels, by the TV DIN 18800 T7 Extended suitability certification for steelwork and bridge construction by the SLV, the training and testing institute for welding technology LISEGA welding inspection personnel are qualified according to ASME III NCA 4000 NF, DIN EN 719, AD HP3 and HP4. Nondestructive tests are carried out by testing staff qualified acc. to ASME IX and DIN EN 473, level 2, and SNT-TC-1A, level II. Supporting connections are produced corresponding to the material group by qualified welders according to ASME IX or DIN EN 287, part 1. The welding procedure is qualified according to ASME IX and DIN EN 288. 8. SURFACE TREATMENT 8.1 Standard coating systems The surfaces of LISEGA products are protected as standard from corrosive influences by high quality protection systems that are also suitable for external use in aggressive conditions (coastal, industrial and chemical areas). The following coating systems are applied to the different products: 8.1.1 Primer coating Components that are either to be welded to existing structure in the plant or simply require higher quality transport protection are coated on a bright metal surface with weldable primer (thickness app. 1.18 mil [30m], color reddish brown). 8.1.2 Electrogalvanizing Spring hangers and supports up to load size 9, as well as all threaded parts and special function parts, are electrogalvanized (zinc thickness app. 0.59 mil [15m], yellow chromatized). UNC threaded parts are white chromatized. 8.1.3 Paint coatings Constant hangers and supports and other products according to table 8.2 receive the following surface treatment: 1. Steel grit blasting according to SP-6 or SP-10 for the U.S. and EN ISO 12944-4 grade SA 2 1/2 for Europe. 2. Undercoat of 1-component polyurethane zinc dust primer, dry film thickness 2.36 mil [60m], approx. 62% zinc in solid state volume, color grey. 3. Final coating of 2-component acrylic polyurethane paint, dry film thickness 2.36 mil [60m], color RAL 5012, light blue. The total dry film thickness of the system amounts to approx. 4.72 mil [120m]. 8.1.4 Hot dip galvanization Roller bearings, pipe saddles and cryogenic pipe clamp bases are hot dip galvanized as standard, zinc thickness approx. 2.36 mil [60m].

Connecting parts are electrogalvanized according to 8.1.2. 8.1.6 Cathodic immersion process (CIP) All LISEGA springs are given special treatment because of their distinctive functional Standardized procedures for surface protection for constant quality!

significance. The peeled surface of the springs is steel ball blasted and zinc-phosphated; subsequently a 2-component epoxy resin coating is applied via electroimmersion and then burnt in at approx. 392F [200C] (CIP). This highly sophisticated process has been adopted from the automobile industry.

8.3 Extended surface protection For applications in the open involving highly corrosive conditions, such as coastal sites or chemical plants, extra protection can be supplied, insofar as this has not already been provided as standard by hot dip galvanizing or special steel versions. The following coating systems are thereby applied:

8.3.1 Electrogalvanization with additional coats of paint 1. A barrier layer (dry film thickness 18 mil [30m]) is applied to the galvanized surface acc. to 8.1.2. 2. As a final layer, a 2-component acrylic polyurethane finish (dry film thickness 2.36 mil [60m], color RAL 5012 - light blue) is applied.

8.5 Surface protection in extremely aggressive atmospheres For applications in specially aggressive atmospheres, e.g. coastal areas, certain industrial gases or offshore, special measures are to be agreed on. 9. CONNECTION DIMENSIONS 9.1 Installation dimension E For the simple determination of minimum installation lengths, the installation dimension E is given for all components except the connecting rods (Product Group 6). This dimension comprises the installation length minus the engaging length of the connecting part. For load chains, the E therefore designates the complete rod section. Special product-related features are to be taken into account as follows: To determine the total length of the rods in a load chain, all the E dimensions are to be added together. The sum of these is then to be compared with the total installation length. If the resulting difference is greater than the sum of the engagement depths (X dimensions), the chain selected is appropriate for the total installation height. For load chains consisting solely of pin connections, the minimum installation dimension follows from the sum of all E dimensions. Simple checks for installation possibilities through dimension E !

Sensible devices on hand for readjusting installation lengths!

9.2 Regulation of the total installation length 9.2.1 Turnbuckle function of the connecting threads For length adjustment in installation condition (adjustment of pipe installation position, actuation of loading), the lower connections in constant and spring hangers provide a turnbuckle function. This way, subsequent adjustment of the installation lengths (attachment rods) within a sufficient range is possible: for constant hangers type 11, by 113/4 inch [300mm] for spring hangers type 21, by the adjustment possibility of a turnbuckle, type 62 for spring hangers type 22, by min. 51/2 inch [140mm] for spring hangers types 25 and 26, the load bearing rod is fed through the weld-on support tube and fixed with an adjustment nut. The adjustment can be made within the scope of the available threaded length of the rod. All connection threads are supplied as right hand threads. 9.2.2 Spring supports For spring supports types 28 and 29, the installation height can be regulated by the support tube, functioning as a spindle independently of the presetting. The necessary load is actuated on installation by screwing the support tube upwards. 9.2.3 Turnbuckle, type 62, tie rod, left hand/right hand thread, type 65 For rigid hanging support arrangements with short installation lengths, a defined reserve length in the connection parts type 60 and 61 usually enables sufficient length adjustment. For longer installation lengths, the use of a turnbuckle L/R, type 62, in conjunction with a tie rod L/R, type 65, is appropriate. For easy access, this combination should be arranged at the lower end of the load chain.

9.2.4 Rigid struts, type 39 The connections in rigid struts type 39 are supplied as left/right, with fine threading for length adjustment in the installation condition as standard. Flat faces on the body of the rigid struts enable simple adjustment with a wrench. 10. OPERATIONAL BEHAVIOR 10.1 Function Constant hangers type 1 are designed so that in theory no load deviation occurs over the whole range of action. The total deviation resulting from springs, bearing friction, and fabrication tolerances is held to within 5% in series production. The load adjustment follows with a level of accuracy of 2%.

For spring hangers and supports, the load alters linearly corresponding to the spring travel. The deviation of the spring force from theoretical values, resulting from spring hysteresis and fabrication tolerances, amounts to less than 5% within the ordered travel.

10.2 Spring relaxation Conventional helical coil springs under load, depending on time and temperature factors, lose part of their tension by relaxation (settling loss), a loss that is not inconsiderable. If no appropriate measures are taken, for constant and spring hangers this can in the long run lead to a reduction in adjusted ultimate load of more than 10%. In contrast to common practice, LISEGA only uses springs that, through special treatment, permit no settling loss of any significance. In these springs the settling loss normally to be expected is anticipated via the process of hot setting from a longer coil length, producing corresponding prerelaxation. measures are prescribed. They are an integral part of order processing and embrace the whole LISEGA group. 11.2 Quality management program, QMP The QMP is clearly laid out in a quality management manual, QMM, and regulates all the quality-assuring activities in the company. The QMM covers the organization as a whole, whereby the observance of rules is monitored by the independent quality management department QM. The QMM has been compiled according to international quality norms and standards and specifically takes into account the regulations according to ASME III - NCA 3800 and NCA 4000 incl. NF as well as DIN EN ISO 9001 and KTA 1401. The QMM applies in principle to both the conventional and nuclear fields. The extent of monitoring of materials and tests, as well as the documentation, can in each case be exactly adapted to special requirements by the use of extended QA levels. All international requirements concerning nuclear applications can be covered. Corresponding qualifications are available and are regularly renewed. 11.3 International qualifications Certification code

The materials used are qualified, corresponding to requirements by material tests according to ASME and DIN EN 10204. Proven operational safety and long life through type and suitability tests! 11.4.2 Monitoring of manufacture Manufacture is monitored via accompanying quality control according to the QM manual. In particular, for nuclear applications the quality-assuring requirements according to ASME III NF and KTA are fulfilled. 11.4.3 Final inspection Before shipment, constant and spring hangers as well as shock absorbers undergo a function test on test benches by quality management personnel. The tests are carried out using computer-assisted equipment. The values measured can be recorded by means of a diagram. In addition, for constant and spring hangers the digital values can be printed out over the whole travel range.
