Problems with pipeline supports for centrifugal pumps
Thread Content
“The bracket closest to the pump should be designed as a vertically adjustable bracket, and it should be placed at a point where the pipe does not experience any vertical displacement. ”I would like to ask everyone how to interpret this sentence, and what they do in such situations
In other words, the pivot point of the bracket must be located on the pipe, and the support rod should be designed to allow adjustment up and down; however, it can also be fixed, with shock absorbers installed on the pump outlet flange.
First: Adjustable brackets are used mainly to align the pipe ends. Pumps are rotary equipment, and the pipe connections require stress-free alignment. Second: Try to install it in a position without vertical displacement, which means that the adjustable bracket should not become unsupported or stuck. If this occurs, it will cause additional thermal stress on the pipe outlet. It affects the rotation of the pump.
It seems that adjustable brackets are rarely seen in practical applications? What form is it usually in?
