Spring can hanger

A spring can hanger is a pipe support mechanism. Spring supports (or Flexible supports) use helical coil compression springs ( to accommodate loads and associated pipe movements due to thermal expansions). They are broadly classified into Variables Effort support & Constant effort support. The critical component in both the type of supports are Helical Coil Compression springs. Spring hanger & supports usually use Helical coil compression springs. The springs are manufactured either by the cold coiling process (where wire diameter is less than 12 mm) or by Hot coiling process Springs are classified as “Light” & “Heavy” . Light springs are normally cold formed Heavy springs are manufactured by the hot coiling process.
