Research: Stop rust & corrosion at pipe support - the leading cause of pipe failure

Corrosion at pipe supports is one of the leading causes of topside process piping failure. This paper will discuss the various corrosion mechanisms that occur at pipe supports if they are not adequately protected. I-Rod, a proven method of prevention with a long record of successful application will be presented. This paper also discusses inspection strategies for pipe supports and provides a simplified visual screening method that has proved useful in mechanical integrity programs.

Non Metallic, Corrosive Resistant Pipe Clamp Kwik Block is a plastic fastening system made from a very strong high density copolymer polypropylene. It is virtually impervious to water, UV rays, and chemicals. Because it can be fastened to most any surface by use of nails, screws, or adhesives, it is used in electrical environments, food service establishments, HVAC & refrigeration, agricultural and farming, solar installations, and equipment manufacturing (OEM's). By combining a Kwik Block with a any tether you the load will be secured to support most sizes of piping, wiring, and other products presently on the market.

12 ways to use kwik block as a pipe strap

12 ways to use kwik block as a pipe strap
Kwik Blok is designed to support the pipe load using a tether you provide. The unique design of this pipe strap means it can literally secure almost any side load on a flat surface, at any angel. It adapts easily with other hardware, which means you can use it as a beam clamp, as a hanger, or with a strut.

This durable pipe strap is used across many industries; in many environments.  To learn more click here.

All metals have slightly different properties, and galvanic differences are the tendency of one metal to release electrons to another metal. The galvanic series of metals is the hierarchy of which metals will release their electrons to other metals. Metals lower in the galvanic series more negatively charged will sacrifice their electrons to metals higher in the series. An example that many people are familiar with is zinc galvanizing of steel, where the zinc surface coating protects the steel from rusting. The galvanic interaction of different metals has a significant role in pipe corrosion, because many commercial metals are alloys of various metals. Therefore, the interior or exterior surfaces of the pipe can provide locations for an electrochemical cell which can start the process of pipe corrosion. Learn more about this research here.

Innovation: Adaptable Pipe Clamp (non metallic)

Adaptable Pipe Clamp (non metallic)
The Kwik Block acts as a pipe standoff bracket or mounting block.

The Kwik Block is a non metallic (which means non-corrosive), universal pipe, hose or tubing clamp that fits any size of piping or cable. Kwik Block creates the base and the installer chooses the appropriate synching tether for the appropriate environment. This universal clamp works with metal pipe, copper pipe, stainless steel pipe, pvc pipe, plumbing pipe, HVAC, and under sinks or with beverage distribution systems.

What is a pipe strut clamp?

What is a pipe strut clamp?
Power-Strut pipe, conduit and tubing clamps are pipe supports designed to elevate piping from a base structure for vertical and horizontal arrangement securing. Pipe guides and slides are designed to allow longitudinal movement due to thermal expansion and contraction of pipe. Shoe supports, saddle blocks, U Clamps, axial stops, hold downs, spring supports, are additional examples of piping supports.

Kwik Block: Pipe Saddle Support

Kwik Block: Pipe Saddle Support
A pipe support or pipe hanger is a designed element that transfer the load from the Pipe to the supporting structures. The load includes the weight of pipe proper, the content the pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe & the pipe covering such as insulation. The four main functions of a pipe support are to  anchor, guide, absorb shock and support a specified load.

Pipe supports used in high or low temperature applications may contain insulation materials. The overall design configuration of a pipe support assembly is dependent on the loading and operating conditions. Visit our site to learn about Kwik Block pipe support.

Plastic Pipe Saddle, Kwik Block is a pipe saddle from it provides an integral base that is used to support the pipe by transmitting the load or forces to the adjacent structure.
