| Variable
Effort Supports are used to support the weight of pipework or equipment
whilst allowing a degree of movement relative to the supporting structure.
Where pipes transport hot or cold liquids or gases they expand or
contract due to the difference between operating and ambient temperatures.
Constant Effort Supports are used to support pipework with an essentially
constant supporting effort during what may large vertical movement.
Dirlik
Controls developed a hardware and software package which is used
in production and testing of Variable and Constant Effort Supports.
The ram moves to minimum, maximum and operating loads, allows the
operator to mark the load indicators on the supports. For each support
a load versus deflection plot is produced.
