Support Grid/Structure Component – Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing

Component Specifications

Definition

A rigid structural framework designed to support, stabilize, and align various components within a gas distribution system, including pipes, valves, regulators, and instrumentation. It ensures proper mechanical positioning, prevents sagging or misalignment due to weight or thermal expansion, and maintains system integrity under operational loads and environmental conditions.

Working Principle

Provides mechanical support through a grid-like or truss structure that distributes loads evenly, minimizes stress concentrations, and allows for thermal expansion/contraction. It typically uses fixed and sliding supports to anchor components while permitting necessary movement.

Materials

Carbon steel (ASTM A36), stainless steel (AISI 304/316), aluminum alloys (6061-T6); coated with epoxy, galvanized, or powder-coated for corrosion resistance.

Technical Parameters

Max Span 3-10 m
Load Capacity 500-5000 kg
Temperature Range -40°C to 200°C
Corrosion Resistance IP54 or NEMA 4X

Standards

ISO 14692, DIN 28080
