In the (petro)chemical industry, piping systems are exposed daily to extreme temperatures, pressure variations, and mechanical forces. Proper pipe support is therefore essential to prevent damage, leaks, and downtime. Especially at points where pipes expand or move, it is crucial to guide this movement in a controlled manner.
The Clambrace 22H48 pipe guide clamp offers a robust and durable solution to this challenge. This product is specifically designed to guide pipe shoes safely and effectively in both onshore and offshore environments.
What Is the Role of Pipe Guides in Piping Systems?
Pipes in industrial installations are constantly moving. Thermal expansion or dynamic effects can cause displacement. Without proper guidance, this results in stress on flanges, suspension points, or support structures. In the worst case, this can lead to cracks, leaks, or even total system failure. Pipe guides – such as the Clambrace 22H48 – ensure that pipes can move in the longitudinal direction in a controlled way, without lateral shifting or rotation. This prevents damage and enhances system safety.
How Does the 22H48 Pipe Guide Clamp Work?
The 22H48 is a clamp-style pipe guide used in combination with pipe shoes. Its design ensures that the pipe can only move in the intended direction, while lateral forces are absorbed.
The guide is easy to install on existing pipe racks and is suitable for both new constructions and retrofit projects. Thanks to its compact and modular design, the 22H48 can be deployed flexibly across various installations, even where space is limited.
Application in the (Petro)Chemical Sector
In the (petro)chemical sector, piping systems are often long, complex, and subject to extreme temperature fluctuations—such as steam lines, process piping, or cooling water circuits. The reliability of these systems largely depends on how well they are supported and guided. The 22H48 pipe guide clamp is a perfect match for this sector. It enables controlled pipe movement, prevents stress within the system, and extends the lifespan of pipe shoes and support structures. This makes the 22H48 a valuable addition for asset owners, engineers, and maintenance teams focused on safety, continuity, and reduced maintenance costs.
Sustainable Support for Industrial Piping
With the introduction of the 22H48, Clambrace provides a solution that improves mechanical pipe guidance and delivers sustainable pipe support. The system is engineered for intensive industrial use, with a focus on easy installation, reliability, and low-maintenance performance. If you are looking for a high-quality pipe guide for industrial applications – particularly in the (petro)chemical industry – the 22H48 offers a solution that meets all requirements for engineering, durability, and safety.
