Special Cold Shoe Pipe Supports

Special cold shoes are not really special at all. They are, however, not requested as much and are less needed for standard cryogenic pipe lines.

That being said, when pipe needs to be supported from above, the hanging cryogenic pipe supports such as clevis hangers and pipe clamps are usually employed. It can be noticed that some hanging cold supports do not have a structural steel clamp bolted together around the insulation, but rather has rolled, curved shielding. This shielding is usually 10ga or 18ga sheet steel.

A cryogenic pipe support can also rest on a pipe roller to allow for axial movement of the pipe.  Rollers are also effective and economical for use on large diameter pipes.

Lastly is the group of cold shoes known as insulation guides aka ‘cold Saddles’ aka ‘base insulated shoes’. This type of cryogenic pipe support is employed when there is minimal space between the pipe and the structure underneath it. It is also appropriate when pipe must be supported where minimal harm to  insulation is required.

Cold saddles come in a wide variety of configurations with a single layer of foam being 90deg or 180deg to that of shoes with two layers of foam at either 90deg or 180deg.
