A pipe clamp normally used for horizontal insulated piping, which utilizes clamping bolts to attach the clamp to the pipe and a separate load bolt to transfer the piping weight to the remainder of the pipe hanger assembly from a point outside the insulation.

Having adjustment capability (usually with threads).

A pipe support used to restrict the pipe movement at a particular location.

A type of forged or fabricated clamp that is used to attach rod hangers to beams by clamping onto the load flange.

The piping support assembly clamped together using bolts.

Bottom of pipe

Boiler Plate

Cantilevered member, with or without a knee brace, designed to withstand a gravity load as well as horizontal forces.

A Pipe Attachment providing vertical adjustment, consisting of a clevis type top bolted to a formed steel bottom strap.

(Also known as cryogenic support) A type of assembly used to give necessary support to a piping system while not dissipating cryogenic temperatures of the piping system at a certain point.

Any of a range of devices which are used to make up a Pipe Support Assembly.

Centre of Pipe

A state of materials at very low temperatures (below -150ºC)

(Also known as cold shoe) A type of assembly used to give necessary support to a piping system while not dissipating cryogenic temperatures of the piping system at a certain point.

Carbon Steel

A device which provides for the attachment of a threaded Hanger Rod to the bolt of another component.

A process in which material is cut to certain size and molded into different required shapes.

A device which provides for the attachment of a threaded Hanger rod to a bolted or pinned connection.

Galvanised pipe supports provide cost-effective corrosion protection for general outdoor and water infrastructure environments, while stainless steel supports offer superior resistance in highly corrosive or chemically aggressive conditions. Selection depends on environmental exposure, maintenance expectations, and project lifecycle requirements.

A type of pipe support consisting of a clamp in which the piping system is upheld from an upper portion rather than from the base. This type of pipe support is available with or without insulation.

Round steel bar normally threaded used to connect other components, to make up a Pipe Hanger Assembly.

Hot Dip Galvanised

A Bracket used for the support of heavy loads.

A type of assembly used to give necessary support to a piping system while not dissipating elevated temperatures of the piping system at a certain point.

Galvanic corrosion in pipe supports is prevented by electrically isolating dissimilar metals, selecting compatible materials, and incorporating isolation pads or coatings. In water and wastewater infrastructure, proper material selection and moisture management are essential to avoid accelerated corrosion at support points.

Impact Tested Carbon Steel

A scale attached to a Variable Spring Hanger to provide a means of indicating the supported load.

Low temperature carbon steel

A unique number used to identify pipe hangers.

A relative displacement between the Structural Attachment and Pipe Attachment, which may be incorporated into the design of the Pipe Hanger Assembly to accommodate the piping movement.

Any device used to connect the pipe to the remainder of the Pipe Hanger Assembly.

A bolted Pipe Attachment which clamps around the pipe to connect the pipe to the remainder of a Pipe Hanger Assembly.

A Pipe Attachment used to hold the pipe directly to a structure, also referred to as a strap or pipe strap.

A device used to permit pipe movement in a predetermined direction while restraining movement in other directions.

A device which is suspended from a structure and is used to carry the piping load in tension.

A general term used to describe a series of assembled components which make up a Pipe Hanger, Pipe Support, Restraint, Anchor, Guide, etc.

A roller device used to support horizontal piping and provide for axial movement.

A device by which piping is carried from beneath and is used to carry the piping weight in compression.

An assembly used to uphold a piping system at desired location.

A Pipe Hanger which does not permit vertical movement.

A Pipe Clamp for the support of vertical piping having separate Load Bolts, to transfer the piping load to the remainder of the Pipe Hanger Assembly.

Super Duplex

A type of pipe hanger, designed to adjust itself to changes in position of the pipeline, such as thermal expansion and subsidence.

Stainles Steel

Safe working load

A rod threaded its full length.

A Pipe Clamp normally used for horizontal insulated piping, which utilizes clamping bolts to attach the clamp to the pipe and a separate Load Bolt to transfer the piping weight to the remainder of the Pipe Hanger Assembly from a point outside the insulation.

Top of steel

A device with one left-hand female threaded end and one right-hand female threaded end, used to join two threaded rods and provide linear adjustment.

A U-shaped rod with threaded ends, that fits around a pipe as well as being attached to a supporting member.

The Load Variation of a Variable Spring Hanger divided by the Hot Load expressed as a percentage.

A spring coil device which produces a varying supporting effect while permitting vertical pipe movement.

A cleat or U-shaped bracket, typically site-welded to a steel beam to provide a secure attachment point for connecting the rest of a pipe hanger assembly.

A Pipe Attachment which requires welding to the pipe in order to connect the pipe to the remainder of the Pipe Hanger Assembly.

A forged steel device which provides for the attachment of a threaded Hanger Rod to a bolt or pin connection.

A height adjustable pipe support is a structural support system designed to allow precise vertical adjustment of pipework during installation. It is commonly used in water treatment plants, municipal infrastructure, and industrial facilities where accurate pipe alignment and elevation control are required.

Pipe supports that require no welding include clamp-on pipe shoes, U-bolt assemblies, adjustable pipe stands, and mechanically fixed saddle clamps. These systems are commonly specified in water treatment, municipal, and industrial infrastructure projects where hot works are restricted or coating protection must be maintained.

A clamp-on pipe shoe should be used when welding to the pipe is not permitted or when installation speed and flexibility are priorities. Clamp-on designs are commonly specified in water treatment, municipal, and industrial infrastructure projects where minimising hot works reduces risk and downtime.
