CONSTANT HANGERS, CONSTANT

SUPPORTS, PRODUCT GROUP 1
To avoid detrimental constraints in the system,
thermal expansion in piping and other plant
components must not be prevented.
Constant hangers
Constant hangers compensate for vertical
movement caused by thermal expansion.
Via constant hangers, the respective piping
loads are constantly absorbed and transferred
with no significant deviation over the whole
range of movement.
Significant deviations would act as harmful
and uncontrolled extra loads in the system.
Constant hanger type 11 52 25

In this case, connection points are especially

at risk because of unacceptable forces and
moments.
It is vital that the constant hangers work
reliably and efficiently, as this is decisive for
the operational safety and long life of the
piping system.
Constant hangers - the LISEGA system
For nearly forty years LISEGA constant hangers
have proven themselves convincingly in all
kinds of operating conditions. The special
functional principle, based on the parallelogram
of forces, is patented worldwide and has
fundamental significance in this respect.
Continued development of LISEGA constant
hangers on this foundation has led to matured products of superior quality with worldwide recognition.
See the sections Operational Function,
page 1.13 and Design Features, page 1.15,
in this regard.

For the user, the following features of LISEGA

constant hangers provide special benefits:

1. Simple planning
standard cover for the respective load
spectrum 10 - 112400 lbs [0.05 - 500kN],
travel range up to 351/2 inch [900mm]
easy selection via load groups and
travel ranges
clearly arranged type identification
system facilitates orientation
symmetric and particularly compact
designs of low installed weight
user-friendly planning documentation,
such as informative catalogs, technical
manuals and special publications
efficient LICAD design software, the
special planning system for LISEGA
standard supports
optimum fit within installation environment via standard variants and accessories (e.g. constant hangers suspended,
seated, as supports or trapezes)
only one load connection point for the
steel structure is needed

1
Construction series 64

LISEGA constant hangers are available at short notice

2. Easy installation
compact, symmetric designs with only
one suspension point and practical
installation aids
favorable weight performance ratios of
the units reduce skeleton weight
precision fit attachment devices by way
of standardized elements
intelligent travel stop enables easy
conformity checks of set load and
operating load
extra wide load adjustment ranges
(40 - 100% of nominal load) permit later
adjustment in the event of deviation in
piping weights

3. Reliable operational safety

due to the fundamental principle, absolute constancy over total set load range
reduced frictional forces through a
minimum of bearing points - the load is
transferred vertically via the main spring
(no friction through high lever bearing
loads)

operational travel runs straight through

the symmetrical axis of the hanger, no
load variations from radial deflection of
the load distribution point
(lever arm hanger)

Construction series 72

attachment point and load point always

lie in the symmetrical axis (no moment
of force exertion on the connection
structures through radial deflection)
Construction series 76

lasting loadbearing performance

through the use of specially treated
prerelaxed springs
lasting operating performance through
corrosion protection and maintenancefree special steel bearings

4. Easy monitoring

FUNCTION TESTS

Functional performance
The specific functional principle of LISEGA constant hangers guarantees absolute constancy
across the entire travel range. This is not even
affected by load adjustment. Only a minor
friction force resulting from tolerances and
bearings has to be taken into account as a
slight deviation. The hysteresis produced by
this is kept within very narrow limits by the
design principle and by state-of-the-art manufacturing procedures.
For normal load settings, deviations in the
operating load for LISEGA constant hangers
in series production is kept in practice at
 3% on average. Using a selection process,
supply of hangers with a maximum deviation
of  2% is possible.
The generally permissible deviations are laid
down in the following international standards:
MSS-SP 58, USA, max.

The LISEGA functional principle

LISEGAs patented functional principle for
constant hangers provides the ideal conditions for fulfilling all requirements. The principle is based on the interplay of force from
one main spring and the resultant force
from two hooked up compensating springs.
The directions of force of the two prestressed compensating springs are opposed
to each other in the form of a parallelogram
of forces.

Lower position

The suspended load F acts directly on the

main spring B via a central load tube A .
The force of the compensating springs C
operates as resultant force F2 , via cams D
and rollers E . This force acts additionally
on the load tube. The main spring force F1
and resultant force F2 change when the load
is moved over the travel range s . This is in
accordance with the characteristics of the
spring, and the angle and shape of the cams.
The individual components are arranged in
such a way that any changes in the resultant
spring constancy correspond exactly with
the characteristic curve of the main spring.
In this way the force of the main spring is
evenly compensated for, providing constant
supporting force.

1
Down towards the apex of the cams the
resultant force diminishes in proportion to
the increase in the relatively low starting
force of the main spring.

The extremely wide load adjustment range

enables us to cover a broad range of applications with a compact number of unit sizes.
This special advantage is the prerequisite for
the formation of load groups as the basis of
the LISEGA modular system. In this way,
rational series production and warehousing
control are made possible.

LISEGA functional
principle for
constant hangers

At the apex of the cams the forces of the

compensating springs are cancelled out.
The resultant is zero. At this point only the
main spring carries the load. Beyond the apex,
the direction of the proportionally increasing
resultant force of the compensating springs is
reversed. It now reduces the relatively strong
main spring force in the same way.

usable travel changes in proportion to the

load alterations.

Large load
adjustment range

The sum of, or the difference between the

forces F1 and F2 at each point in the travel
range = F.

Only the LISEGA functional principle

guarantees absolute constancy right
from a theoretical basis.
Only the LISEGA functional principle
allows a particularly wide load adjustment
range of 40 - 100% of the nominal load.

Small number of unit

sizes (load groups,
modular system)

Examples of practical function

Load adjustment
Load adjustment is carried out by adjusting
the pre-tension of the main spring. Because
the characteristic curves of the resultant
compensating force and those of the mainspring are identical, only a linear displacement of the starting load F1 occurs. The force
variation achieved by altering the main spring
pre-tension is the same at every point in the
movement cycle. Therefore, the ultimate load
remains constant at each load setting. The

DESIGN FEATURES

Design shape
LISEGA constant hangers are made to a compact and symmetrical design. This facilitates
space saving installation dimensions and the
use of standard accessories. When installing
on site, much time and effort is saved by
low unit weight and simple positioning at
connection points. Only one hanging point is
needed for fitting. The load transfer passes
through the axis of symmetry. Space for radial deflection (lever arm hanger) need not be
considered. Additional moments posed on the
supporting structure by lever arm units are
therefore avoided. The design enables a direct
reading of the travel position on a scale of 1:1.

Mounted constant hanger

Design construction
A steel housing encases the internal working
parts such as springs and cams. The compact
arrangement of these individual parts inside
the housing leads to small external dimensions. The housing is designed to be load
bearing and to accommodate LISEGA standard
connecting components.
 Serial connection types

Type 66 rod

Type 61 clevis
Type 79
trapeze
Type 71
bracket

Type 60 eyenut
Type 67 stud bolt

Connection types
The connection threads correspond to the
standardized diameter of the relevant LISEGA
load group. At the upper connection the
thread depth is limited. At the lower end, the
nut is used as a turnbuckle for adjusting rod
length.
The shape of the hanger housing allows direct
seating on existing connection structures
without extra accessories. In addition, special
brackets can be attached using the standard
tapped holes provided. Constant hangers
above load group 9 (heavy duty) have yoke
plates for bolted connections instead of
connection threads.
Performance range
Constant hangers and supports are manufactured in load groups C - 9 as serialized singlecell units. They can also be coupled together
for load groups 8 or 9 as multi-cell hangers
with heavier loads.
In this way a standardized range of 20 lbs
to 112400 lbs [0.1kN to 500kN] can be
covered. Constant hangers are manufactured
in 6 standard travel ranges: 6/ 12/ 18/ 24/
30/ 36 inch [150/ 300/ 450/ 600/ 750/
900mm] - constant supports up to 12 inch
[300mm].
Standards and calculations
Component design and layout fully comply
as regards load capacity, dynamic function
and lifespan with the relevant national and
international standards and codes. This applies equally to the materials used, welding
technology and other processes. Relevant
details can be found in the Technical
Specifications (page 0.9).
Springs
The springs are decisive for the flawless
functioning of constant hangers the long
term operational safety of these components
depends on them. DIN standards form the
basis of the LISEGA coil spring specifications.
Details can be found in the Technical
Specifications in section 0.

Spring relaxation
Conventional helical coil springs subjected to
load and temperature over a period of time
lose part of their force (spring relaxation).
In the long term, it can cause a reduction in
the adjusted support loads of more than 10%
in constant and variable spring supports
(see calculation example).
LISEGA only uses prerelaxed springs which
by an artificial aging process allow no significant settling loss. In a hot setting procedure
with extended coil lengths a corresponding
preplastification is attained. The settling loss
normally to be expected is thereby prevented.

Example of cumulative additional loads due

to hanger relaxation
The effect of a 10% loss in hanger power
was observed in a pipeline (Dia = 20.7inch
[525mm], s = 1.06inch [27mm], temperature = 1004F [540C], pressure = 725psi
[50bar] ).
Due to this loss, the piping displaced at a
maximum of 1.43inch [36.4mm].

The maximum primary stresses were calculated in the safety valves near the boiler
connection. They were 93% higher than the
planned condition. The permissible stresses
for the connection were exceeded by 9%.
(Calculations in accordance with regulations
B31.1).

Modern welding robots and CNC machines ensure

constant product quality

Corrosion protection
Constant hangers are finished with a LISEGA
standard coating system which in conjunction with a metallically pure treated surface
offers superior corrosion protection with high
mechanical stability. Bearings and pins are
made from stainless steel.
All threaded parts and cams are electrogalvanized and yellow chromatized.
The spring coil surfaces are given special
finishing treatment (see Technical Specifications, page 0.10).
The standard corrosion protection for constant
hangers needs no maintenance inside buildings, or in areas protected from the weather.
For components in the open and in special
cases of operation, a more comprehensive
corrosion protection can be agreed on.

THE LISEGA SERVO HANGER

Despite the use of variable

spring and constant hangers, piping systems and
other components are, under
certain conditions, obstructed in their thermal movement by friction or other
influences. In such cases
servo hangers can be usefully employed.

Application
In the ideal situation the weight of the piping
is almost balanced out with the set load of
the constant hangers. The sum of deviations
present and the additional stresses in the
piping system thereby caused then remain
within the permissible harmless range.
In certain cases, total deviation can exceed
permissible levels. In the form of secondary
stresses it can considerably reduce the life
span of the piping or its connections in the
area of creep strength depending on time.
Deviations can occur due to:
wall thickness tolerances of the pipes,
if these are not weighed individually
and weight differences are not taken
into consideration
insulation weights not exactly
determinable in advance
mechanical friction and manufacturing
tolerances within constant hangers
(permissible  5%)
relaxed springs in constant hangers

ter

unpredictable random influences on

pipe statics
differences between theoretical and
actual values of load distribution
A combination of deviations can normally be
expected, which cumulatively can amount to
considerably high values. This is especially
unfavorable with long-legged (soft) piping
systems. Vertical movements can be obstructed here, even on relatively minor individual
deviations, and partially or even totally suppressed. Apart from the extra load caused,
unacceptable sagging can occur with a reversed slope, supported by spring hysteresis
from the pressure-loaded system. In addition
to possible time yield damage, this would
favor dangerous water hammer effects due
to a false incline.
In such cases, a sensible solution would be
to complement the passively reacting constant hangers with the actively working
LISEGA servo hanger.
Via the hydraulic servo assistance, the piping
is now actively supported in its movement
at every predetermined height.

Design and function
The basis for the servo hanger is a standard
Type 11 constant hanger. To overcome load
differences, it is additionally fitted with a
hydraulic auxiliary device providing additional
active force in both directions (servo assistance).

Unit sizes
Units are available from series construction
for load groups 5 (FN 4495lbs [20kN] ) to 9
(FN 22480lbs [100kN] ) with travel range 2
(6inch [150mm] ) and 3 (12inch [300mm] ).
In special cases non-standard designs can
be manufactured.

As a control parameter, the temperature of

the piping to be supported is normally used.
The relevant temperature is converted electronically into the corresponding position. In
the actual / theoretical value comparison procedure, the control provides for a regulated
advance towards the vertical theoretical
position.

Operating instructions
Installation and commissioning instructions
and maintenance recommendations are supplied on delivery.

Electro-hydraulic control
The hydraulic unit and the electronic control
are housed separately from each other in a
switchgear cabinet mounted near the servo
hanger (max distance 52 feet [16m] ).
The hydraulic piston controlling the movement is located in the load tube of the constant hanger.
Automatic safety switch
The electrohydraulic control is designed in
such a way that only the servo assistance is
lost if there is an operational breakdown,
e.g. a power failure. The unit itself would
carry on operating in the normal way as a
constant hanger.
For deviations in theoretical (temp.) / actual
(travel) a tolerance range can be adjusted.
The control shuts off automatically if the
deviation lies outside these values.
Manual shut off
For possible maintenance work in the system
or at the boiler, the servo assistance can be
shut on or off by hand.

Transport must be carried out carefully in
order to avoid damage. It is particularly important that load adjustment screws and
connection threads remain intact. If stored
in the open, care must be taken to protect
components from dirt and moisture.
2. Delivery condition
LISEGA constant hangers are supplied set to
the load specified in the order, and blocked
in the required installation position. All hangers are supplied with a riveted aluminum
name plate, as well as travel and load scale.

2.1 Constant hanger

types 11 C3 .. - 11 96 .. (single cell)
The upper connection is supplied as internal
thread with limited screw engagement.
The lower connection is a spherical load nut
which can angulate through a minimum of 4
in all directions. The connection threads are
filled with grease and sealed with plastic caps.

1
2.2 Constant hanger
types 12 82 - 14 96 (multi cells)
The upper connection is provided as standard
in the form of a lug for a connecting pin.
The lower attachment exists of several tensioning bolts connected by a yoke plate.
2.3 Constant hangers (seated)
Constant hangers of all sizes can be directly
seated. They can also be supplied with serialized brackets type 71. The brackets can be
bolted on at works or on site according to
order using the precision fit holes provided.
The base plates of the mountings can be either
welded or bolted to the mounting surface.

2.4 Constant supports type 16

Constant supports follow the same design
principle as the constant hanger. Instead of
the lower connection, they have an upper
support tube with a screwed-in adjusting
spindle and load plate.
3. Installation
When installing, the rules for the Installation
Instructions for Piping are to be adhered to.
Special attention must be paid to the desired
installed position of the hanger rods in the
whole support chain. Two possibilities are
usual practice:
1. The hanger rods are to be installed at an
angle in accordance with expected horizontal
displacement of the piping. It is expected that
the rods become vertical during operating
conditions.

In all cases there should be a unified set of

rules for the whole plant.
Attachment rods and points must be connected under actuation of load.
3.1 Constant hanger
type 11 C3 - 11 96 (single cell)
Transport lugs or other installation aids can
be screwed into the threaded holes provided
on the sides. After deblocking the hangers
(see Point 4), the blocking plates should be
bolted on here for storage. For constant
hangers with type 71 brackets, the hangers
are supplied with transport lugs instead of
the upper connection. The lugs can also accommodate the blocking plates. When removing the blocking plates from constant
hanger types 11 82 to 11 96, care must be
taken that only the larger circlip is removed.
For connection to the connecting rod, care
must be taken that the lower rod is screwed
into the load nut at least up to the control
bore. A further screw engagement of 12 inch
[300mm] is provided.

3.2 Constant hanger types 12 82 - 14 96

To install the hangers, the side openings of
the upper yoke plate can be used for lifting.
On hangers fitted with brackets, the upper
yoke plate is substituted by a transport lug.

Constant hangers types 14 82 - 14 96

(4 - cell design) are supplied with a transport
safety device marked in red along the center
axis. This serves to provide additional midblocking to the blocking pin on an unloaded
hanger.
The transport safety device must not be
loosened until after the complete installation
of the hanger simultaneously with the removal of the blocking plates.

Safe storage of travel stop plates

on constant hangers with brackets

For this purpose the red locknut is removed

at the lower end using a box spanner. Both
parts are to be stored in the same place as
the blocking plates. When making the loadactuating connection, care must be taken that
the lower load anchors are screwed into the
lower load nuts at least up to the control
bore. The installation dimension of the lower
yoke plate can be extended with the load
nuts by up to 97/8 inch [250mm] or shortened
by up to 23/4 inch [70mm].

4. Removing the blocking devices

4.1 Requirements
The correct deblocking of the constant hangers as per the following instructions is decisive for the subsequent flawless functioning
of the piping system.
The blocking devices should only be removed
immediately before commissioning.
The blocking devices must be removed
systematically, i.e. from fixed point to
connection or from connection to connection.
Prior to this the whole system should be
checked as per Item 3 in these installation
instructions.
4.2 Theoretical and actual condition
If it has been ensured that all connections
are actuated by load, the load suspended is
completely taken over by the constant hangers or supports.
If the actual load corresponds to the installed load and the piping system shows no
signs of constraints, the planned equilibrium
has been achieved. The travel stop plates
can now be removed.
In practice, however, slight constraints and
hence certain load displacements in the
piping system can hardly be avoided. The
theoretically determined loads can also show
considerable tolerances. Deviations resulting
from this can lead, according to increased or
diminished loading, to a corresponding jamming of the blocking pin in the upper or
lower part of the blocking plates.

4.3 Load distribution
The travel stop plates must never be removed
by force!
By loosening or tightening the connecting
rods with a few turns of the load nut for constant hangers, or adjustment of the support
tube for constant supports, the locked-up
stress in the piping can be compensated so
that the blocking pin is free.
However, the geometrical layout of the piping
must not be altered when balancing these
stresses.
Because the adjustment of one position can
lead to stressing at another location, this
procedure must be repeated if necessary at
different points.
For thorough control, we recommend as a
matter of principle removing the travel stop
plates only after all the blocking pins are free.

Load pin forced upwards:

Applied load is lower than set load.
Tighten connecting rod or reduce set load

Load pin is free:

Applied load conforms with set load.
Blocking plate can be removed

Load pin forced downwards:

Applied load is higher than set load.
Loosen connecting rod or increase set load

4.4 Load correction

If the blocking pins jam, and cannot be freed
without displacement of the piping, significant
deviations in the piping load can be assumed.
The adjustment bolts of the constant
hangers and supports can then be correspondingly set. Once more, this should be done
from position to position, as described in
point 4.3. If this is done correctly, load differences can be practically balanced out by this
method. Any load adjustments must as a matter of principle be agreed on with the technical department responsible for the piping
system. Any new load setting values should
be indicated on the load scales and recorded.
4.5 Installation devices
With all hangers, tightening or loosening the
connecting rods, as well as load adjustment,
can be done by hand. With hangers and supports for higher load groups, however, this
operation may need considerable force.
To make this easier, an installation aid can
be provided which takes on the load hydraulically with the aid of a hand pump.
4.6 Commissioning
Before commissioning it must be checked
that each hanger allows the expected piping
movement.
The hanger travel can be read directly from
the position of the blocking pin in the guide
slots on the travel scale.
If required, for example when carrying out
revisions, hangers and supports can be
blocked again in any travel position. This is
done by mounting and securing the blocking
plates onto the blocking bolt.

5. Control and maintenance

The correct performance of the constant hangers and supports can be checked in all operating situations by noting the position of
the blocking bolt.
Under normal operating conditions no maintenance is required.
