Structural composition

Saddle plate: It is the main bearing part, usually made of steel plate, the shape is curved, and the equipment is fitted to the circular outer wall to provide stable support, and its thickness and material are determined by the weight, diameter and working conditions of the supported equipment.

Web: connected to the saddle plate and the bottom plate, the role is to transfer the load, generally perpendicular to the saddle plate and the bottom plate, to ensure that the weight of the equipment transferred to the saddle plate can be evenly distributed to the bottom plate, height and thickness design should consider the structural strength and stability requirements.

Bottom plate: It is the part in contact with the foundation. It is a large plate that distributes the weight of the equipment and support to the foundation to prevent local pressure from being too large. It is provided with anchor bolt holes for fixing the support on the foundation.

Reinforcement plate: used to strengthen the structural strength, arranged in the connection between the saddle plate, web and bottom plate, the shape and number according to the size and bearing requirements of the support to determine, can effectively improve the bearing resistance to deformation.

Working principle

Bearing equipment weight: through the contact between the saddle plate and the outer wall of the equipment to bear the weight of the equipment, the curved saddle plate can better fit the equipment, so that the load distribution is more uniform, reduce the local stress concentration.

Limiting displacement: Different from the sliding saddle support, the saddle fixed support is mainly used to limit the displacement of the equipment in some directions, usually between the saddle plate and the outer wall of the equipment will be set up sliding friction pairs, such as polytetrafluoroethylene plate, etc., to reduce the friction when the equipment moves, but still limit the displacement range of the equipment, so that it is active in the specified area. Adapt to the small displacement of equipment due to temperature changes and other factors.

Peculiarity

Simple structure: composed of saddle plate, web, bottom plate and reinforcement plate and other main components, the structure is relatively simple, the manufacturing and installation process is not complicated, can reduce the cost and construction difficulty.

Large bearing capacity: it can withstand large vertical loads and certain horizontal loads, and is suitable for supporting pipelines or equipment with large weight.

Strong adaptability: can be used for different diameters, different materials of pipes or equipment, and can adapt to a certain range of temperature changes and working environment.

Long service life: under normal conditions of use, it has a long service life, which reduces the cost and workload of frequent replacement of supports.

Low price: Compared with some complex support forms, the manufacturing cost of the saddle fixed support is low, and the price is relatively cheap.
