COMPRESSION SPRINGS
MPI Compression Springs are assembled from components of Stainless steel Type 304.Compression springs are used with strapping to secure insulation over large diameter insulated piping, tanks, vessels, and equipment
APPLICATION
Stainless Steel strapping 3/4" X .020" is slipped through and back over the slots on one end of the flat bottom of the spring. The strapping is secured with a 3/4” closed seal and is extended around the object, or to the next spring and the routine is repeated until the entire circumference has been encircled.
To accommodate expected expansion of the object, the number of compression springs to be installed is based on a maximum compression of 1-1/2" per spring. Install one compression spring for every 25' of strapping. When tensioning the strapping, compress each unit a total of 1/2" extreme care should be taken to assure that spring compression and strapping Stresses are evenly distributed around the object.
