In the piping world, change is inevitable. You’re constantly up against unexpected twists, calls for upgrades, and unpredictable events. 

When it comes to pipe support systems, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. If you want to elevate your piping system’s performance, you’ll need pipe supports that fit your piping system and environment to a T. 

When it comes to pipe restraints, the role of liners is often underestimated. These features can dramatically extend the life of not only your pipe restraints but also your entire piping system. 

If you’re an international company looking for pipe supports, you may face a tough decision. Do you seek U.S. or international production? What about your supplier or distributor?

The choice may be more important than you realize.

Chances are, you’ve heard the horror stories about welding dissimilar metals. Taking the right precautions during these dangerous welds can mean the difference between improving your process piping system and causing long-term headaches.

Friction can wreck a piping system if it is unchecked. Reducing a pipe’s coefficient of friction is an important way to preserve metal. 

There’s an invisible yet costly force running through your pipe system: energy. Every ounce of energy that slips through the nooks and crannies of your system is money wasted.  

It’s hard enough protecting pipes when projects go smoothly. But project scope creep can completely sabotage a job.

Unfortunately, most people don’t notice scope creep until a project bloats, deadlines are pushed, and budgets are blown.

MSS SP-58 garners little news coverage. It is not discussed at cocktail parties. In most circles, it is not discussed at all. But if you work with pipe systems, MSS SP-58 standards are likely on your mind. 

In the piping industry, it is...

Your pipes are in an ongoing fight against corrosion. And once corrosion starts, it can spread quickly and weaken your whole piping system.
