Sway Braces & Struts

Vibration Control & Sway Braces

Used for controlling vibration, absorbing shock, leading/guiding/restraining the movement, caused by thermal expansion, of a pipe and bracing the pipeline against sway.

Description

Sway braces are used for controlling vibration, absorbing shock, leading/guiding/restraining the movement of pipe resulting from thermal expansion and bracing a pipe line against sway. 

Sway struts are used to restrain movement of piping while allowing for movement in the other two directions.

  • Vibration is opposed with an instantaneous counter force bringing the pipe back to normal position
  • A single pre-loaded spring provides two-way action
  • One spring valve saves space and simplifies design
  • Spring has 3” travel in either direction
  • Accurate neutral adjustment assured
  • Fulfills the requirements of the ASME code for pressure piping as to fabrication details and materials
  • Complies with Manufacturers Standardization Society SP-69 (Type 50)
