6.0 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

6.1. Material
All the parts making up the support, except for the springs shall be made according
to MSS-SP-58 table 2. The spiral coil of the spring shall be ASTM A125 or an
equivalent material.

6.2. Accessories to Be Supplied

6.2.1. Supplier/Vendor shall supply spring and all accessories (Bolts, Nuts, Fish
Plate, and etc.) as indicated in the spring support assemblies drawing. Also a bolt
and nut should be supplied
6.2.2. Where spring casing or components of the assembly are not capable of
supporting hydrostatic test loads, a hanger rod must be shipped with the assembly
and will be clearly marked “for use during hydrostatic test only”.
6.2.3. Each clevis type tie rod or tie rod which itself is of the clevis type shall be
equipped with a nut.

6.3. Safety Factor for Design and Fabrication

6.3.1. Except for the spring themselves, all part (housing, accessory-housing,
accessories, temporary licking system, etc) shall be design with a safety factor of 4.

6.4. Adjustments for Erection

Spring supports shall ensure an easy adjustment of ± 25mm.

6.5. Load Adjustment

Load variation ratio should be 25%.

6.6. Inclination of the Tie Rod

Supports shall have an oscillation capacity at least 4° in every direction so as to
ensure the horizontal displacement of the points of connection of the piping.

6.7. Assembly
Each spring hanger shall be provided with tie rods, bolts and other necessary
accessories already mounted on the support itself.

Page 7 of 10 Status: C Class: 2
NGL-CT-1-0000-PI-SP-2020-D2

6.8. Lock Pins

Each spring support shall be provided with a lock pin for the hydrostatic test in
order to fix the spring in the position corresponding to the erection load and with a
device for the indication of the load. The removable part of the temporary locking
system must be attached to the housing by a short chain.

6.9. Operating Travel

Operating travel of each support is characterized by a + (plus) sign when the piping
moves upward during operation and by a - (minus) sign when piping moves
downward. When the displacement of the piping, between the erection and the
service position, at its point of support, is greater than 40 mm, constant-lift hangers
and supports shall be given preference over variable-lift hangers and supports.

6.10. Applicable Load

Spring supports shall be sized so as to be able to support a temporary load of 2
times the max. Load condition declared by the Supplier/Vendor, during the
hydrostatic test of piping. In the event that a greater temporary test load is
envisaged, this shall be indicated by the Purchaser in the “Spring Data Sheet” in the
column intended for the hydrostatic test load.
The spring hangers and supports shall be provided with position indicators.

7. MARKING
7.1. Name Plate
Each spring support shall be equipped with a Name Plate firmly fixed to the box of
the spring. The label shall clearly show (stamped on it) the name of station, tag
number of the spring support, area, Line No., the unit number, the erection load, the
load scale and the travel scale. Installed and operating loads will be clearly marked
on the spring casing so that painting will not destroy or obscure the marks.

8. PAINTING AND PROTECTION

8.1. Painting
Unless otherwise indicated in the purchase order, all the parts of the support, except
for the spiral of the spring and for the threaded parts shall be painted in accordance
with the Supplier/Vendor’s standard.
8.2. Protection of the Spring Spiral
Coatings and/or treatments in accordance with the Supplier/Vendor’s standard shall
protect the spring spiral.
8.3. Protection of Threading
All the threaded parts shall be protected during the painting of the support and at a
later stage from oxidation with grease or a similar substance.

9. TESTS, CHECKS AND EXAMINATIONS

9.1. Check Of the Spring Stiffness
9.1.1. The stiffness of the springs load supports shall be checked and certified by the
Supplier/Vendor and shall be in accordance with Supplier/Vendor standard
procedure.
9.1.2. A maximum difference (in the range of use of the support) of ±10% between
the declared stiffness and that measured is allowed for selecting constant spring
supports and hangers.
9.2. Load Check
Supplier/Vendor shall check and certify the spring support travel difference between
loads at the beginning and end of travel according to MSS-SP-69 clauses 7.4.2 and
7.4.3.
9.3. Static Load Test
Static load test shall be done for each spring support by Supplier/Vendor in
accordance with Supplier/Vendor standard procedure for the maximum load
specified under para 6.10 in the condition of pin locked spring.
