Applications: Recommended for controlling vibration; absorbing shock, leading; guiding or restraining the movement of pipe resulting from thermal expansion and bracing a pipe line against sway.
Specifications: Fulfils the requirements of the ASME code for Pressure Piping as to fabrication details and materials.
Adjustment: The sway brace should be in the neutral position when the system is hot and operating, at which time both spring plates should be in contact with the end plates.If they are not, the sway brace should adjusted to the neutral position by use of the load coupling.
Preload Adjustment Part #831: Turn the preload adjustment nut until desired preload is indicated. Turn thrust nut until it is in contact with the spring plate. Lock in position. Indicated deflection must be greater then thermal movement.
Features: 

  • Vibration is opposed with an instantaneous counter force bringing the pipe back to normal position.
  • A single pre-loaded spring provides two-way action.
