Product group 3 componentsPipe supports specially designed for thepurpose are necessary to absorb and trans-fer loads from dynamic events. With ProductGroup 3, LISEGA provides a comprehensivesystem whereby all fields of application arecovered by the corresponding ideal compo-nent. This enables users to exploit optimumconcepts.
The LISEGA Product Group 3 includes thefollowing main products:
shock absorbers, types 30 and 31 energy absorbers (E-Bars), type 32 rigid struts, type 39
A comprehensive selection of connection pos-sibilities is available for the correct installa-tion of the main products:
installation extensions, type 33 weld-on brackets, type 35 dynamic pipe clamps, types 36 and 37
In accordance with the LISEGA modular system, the connecting parts are designed
to be compatible and are subject to uniformcalculation criteria. A generally applicabletable of permissible loads can be found onpage 0.5 of the Technical Specifications.
The fundamental calculation procedurescomply with international regulations andstandards and are certified by practical typeand suitability tests.Design Report Summariesin accordancewith ASME III NFare available.
Dynamic eventsWhenever unplanned dynamic events occur,LISEGA Product Group 3 supports have thejob of protecting the piping or other com-ponents affected from any damage.
Undesirable abrupt movement of the com-ponents in the system can be caused by:
A Internal excitation, such as:
pressure shocks from valve operation water hammer boiler events pipe breakage
B External excitation, such as:
wind load seismic events aircraft impact explosions
Components affected can be:
piping pumps valve assemblies pressure vessels steam generators
To avoid unacceptable ten-sion and moments in thepiping system, unplanneddisplacement in piping or other plant components must be eliminated. However, ther-mal movement must not behindered in any way!

5/443.2
3Shock absorbers, type 30, 31The use of shock absorbers (snubbers) ispreferred in thermally operating pipingsystems. In a dynamic event, shock absor-bers instantaneously form a practically rigidrestraint between the protected componentand the structure. Resulting dynamic energycan at once be absorbed and harmlesslytransferred.
Through the special function of the shockabsorbers, thermal displacements during nor-mal operation remain unhindered.
Energy absorbers, type 32
If only slight operational movement is to beexpected at the load application point, thenas a rule energy absorbers can be used.These components allow a small amount of movement, which is limited by an adjustablegap in the end positions. The componentsaffected are protected from overload because,due to the design, the dynamic energy intro-duced is transformed into deformation energy.
Rigid struts, type 39If no operational movement is to be expec-ted, e.g. at so-called zero positions, thenrigid struts are used. They form rigidrestraints from attachment point to attach-ment point and do not allow axial move-ment. However, as they have angular bear-ings, limited angular movement is permitted.

PRODUCT GROUP 3RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Product Group 3components are dynamically stressed. In their use, the following pointsmust be observed for effective functioning:
1. Where the design of dynamically fixedpoints is concerned, the stiffness of thesupporting system as a whole , i.e. of allcomponents in the support chain, must beconsidered.
2. In the selection of unit sizes, the total of all loadings avising must be taken intoaccount.
3. For given loads it must be made clear,
beyond any doubt, which level of design load(H, HZ, HS, and/or Level A,B,C,D) the datacorresponds to. The table of permissible loadson page 0.5 of the Technical Specificationsmust be observed.
4. The stroke length of shock absorbersshould not be fully exploited. An overtravelsafety margin of 10mm at each end of thesnubber should be maintained.
5. When arranging the components, sufficient lateral freedom should be allowed so thatthere is no jamming at connection lugs.
6. When shock absorbers are arranged inparallel, it is recommended that load re-serves be considered. Instead of 50%, ineach case it is recommended that bothshock absorbers be designed to take 70%of the total calculation load.
7. The installation drawings should clearlyindicate how much freedom of angulationmay be required by the components.
8. Any necessary torque values for threadedconnections in the structural attachmentsshould be indicated.
9. Before commissioning the plant, all sup-port points should again be visually inspec-ted.
10. The LISEGA instructions for commissioning and inspection, as well as the maintenancerecommendations, are to be observed.

LISEGA shock absorbers have stood the test of time in practical applications for over three decades, and thereby proven their outstanding reliability. Extensive operationalexperience has, through constant further development, led to a matured product, uni-
versally respected and leading worldwide.
Access to shock absorbers after installation isgenerally difficult and, because of possibledanger from radiation when installed innuclear power plants, involves stringentsafety regulations for personnel. The highestdemands are therefore made on reliable andmaintenance-free continuous service.
For the reliable operational safety of shockabsorbers, the quality of the following criticalcomponents, together with the functional prin-ciple and whole design, is a decisive factor:
sealing systems piston and rod guides hydraulic fluid sliding surfaces corrosion-resistant interiors control valve system
SHOCK ABSORBERSTYPE 30, 31
The most frequent causes offailure in shock absor-bers are prematurewear and tear andcorrosion. For thisreason LISEGAshock absorbersare manufacuredfrom non-corrodingmaterials and any form of metal to metal contactis precluded by the use of special guide bands.
At LISEGA, the sealing system, guidings andhydraulic fluid are certified through reliable
qualification procedures to give at least 23years trouble free operation in nuclear power stations under normal operating conditions.
The following qualities have led to the recog-nized superiority of LISEGA shock absorbers:
non-corroding materials special sealing systems vibration proof guide systems pressurized self-contained hydraulic system
dynamic function exchangeable control valves (Type 31) 23 years approved maintenance-free
operation 40 year lifespan certified by ASME - NCA 3800
certified by TV qualificationtesting

INSTALLATION EXTENSIONSTYPE 33
Installation extensionstype 33 18 18 to 33 03 12
Type 33 extensions are usedto bridge larger installationlengths, thus avoiding struc-tural adjustments on site.
Connection to the shockabsorber or energy absorber is made at the cylinder base. Standard threadedconnections allow thesimple substitution of exten-sions for standard connec-
tion lugs. The same appliesfor special connections,helpful when exchangingunits made by other manu-facturers, because this wayexisting structural con-nec-tions can remain (see page3.8).

It is a well known fact that most earlier generation shock absorbers do not fulfillcurrent demands and specifications.The result is failure, and huge maintenancecosts. Considerable savings can be made byreplacing these units with LISEGA shock or energy absorbers (E-bars).
So that connections already existing on sitecan still be used, a range of special connec-tions is available.

absorbers endure these loads whilemaintaining their functional integrity.
The special guide systems of the shockabsorbers make them largely resistantto permanent cyclic operating loads.This is confirmed by proven practicalexperience.
It has to be considered that the rangeof possible influential parameters suchas frequencies, amplitudes, oscillationshapes, impact directions, mono- andmultiaxial effects, as well as possibleoverlapping, permit no uniform definitionof continuous operational vibration.
Operational Stress FactorsLISEGA hydraulic shock absorbers aredesigned as standard for the operationalloads listed below.
The specified values have been con-firmed by German TV qualificationtests. Other values can be agreed uponin exceptional cases by design adap-tations.

MODE OF FUNCTION
Dynamic event In the event of a sudden shock, an instan-taneous, secure and almost rigid connectionis produced between the supported com-ponent and the fixed point on the structure.The resulting dynamic loads are at onceconducted into the structural connection anddissipated without any harmful consequences.
Normal operational movements of piping andother components remain however unhindered.
Moments of force can often change directionat random within the framework of complex oscillation spectra. The response frequencyrange for LISEGA shock absorbers is 0.5 -100 Hz.
FUNCTION
Control valvesThe function of LISEGA hydraulic shock ab-sorbers type 30 is controlled by the main con-trol valve (B), axially mounted within thehydraulic piston (A).During the piston movement ( 2mm/s) thevalve is kept open by spring pressure, and
hydraulic fluid flows freely from one side of the piston to the other. During rapid pistonmovement (approx. 2mm/s) above thespeed limit, the resulting fluid flow pressureon the valve plate closes the main valve.The flow of the hydraulic fluid is stoppedand movement blocked. The compressibilityof the fluid cushion has a softening effecton the restriction of the piston. This pre-vents damaging load spikes.For movement in the compressive direction,the compensating valve (D) closes almostsynchronously with the main valve.
If the pressure on the closed valve subsides,e.g. through reversal of the direction of move-ment, the main control valve opens automa-tically when the fluid force falls short of thespring force.
BypassTo prevent the valves from jamming in theblocking position, they are fitted with abypass system.

This allows limited piston movement under continuing load and ensures safe opening of the valves by rapid equalization of pressurein both cylinder chambers. The compensa-ting valve works synchronously with themain valve in the same way.
Reservoir For both variable piston rod positions as wellas for changes in hydraulic fluid volumecaused by temperature changes, volume com-pensation takes place through a coaxiallymounted reservoir (C). The link between thereservoir and main cylinder is regulated bythe compensating valve (D).
Large bore shock absorbers type 31The function of the LISEGA shock absorber type 31 is fundamentally the same as for type
30.The special dimensions, however, require adifferent design arrangement of the reservoir (C). The valve assembly also differs.
The valves (B) themselves operate similarlyto those in type 30. The circulation of thefluid is also blocked by closure of the corres-ponding valve in each respective direction of movement. This happens whenever a flow-

speed limit is exceeded. Because the valvesare directly linked to the reservoir, no specialcompensating valve is needed.
Recurrent testing To facilitate routine maintenance, the controlvalve system is designed for removal with theshock absorber still in place. The valves canthen simply be replaced in the event of arecurrent test by a previously qualified set of valves. A special shut-off device is used toprevent loss of oil. The original valves canthen be remotely tested in a surrogate snub-ber and made ready for use again.

SHOCK ABSORBERSDESIGN CHARACTERISTICS
3.13
Design characteristicsThe shock absorbers are closed systemswith no external threaded pressureconnections. Individual parts of the unitare assembled without welding bymeans of precision fits and threadedconnections and secured mechanically(see Fig. 3).
For protection against corrosion,LISE-GA shock absorbers are made exclusi-vely from non-corroding materials. Theconnections are made of galvanizedcarbon steel.The guides on piston rods and pistons
are made from a special wear-resistantnon-metallic material (see Fig. 2).
The fluid reservoir is sealed from theatmosphere by a preset piston, so thatslight overpressure in the hydraulicsystem constantly maintains a slightpresetting of the seals.
The control valves are decisive for thedynamic operation of the shock absorber.To achieve high operational accuracy,the valve parameters have been opti-mized by extensive testing and specialcalculation models.
SealsThe sealing systems play a vital role inthe long term function of a hydraulicshock absorber. Together with the hyd-raulic fluid and guide bands, the sealsform part of the non-metallic compo-nents of the shock absorber and aretherefore subject to natural ageing andwear. The most important requisite for a lasting sealing effect is the selectionof the right sealing material. A goodmemory for shape retention (compres-sion set) or lowest possible relaxation of tension is thereby an absolute essential.
For optimum exploitation of materialcharacteristics, the shape of the sealsand the design of their locations arealso important.
The optimum combination of thefollowing factors is decisive forfunctional efficiency:
temperature resistance radiation resistance abrasion resistance, especially
at high frequency vibration good memory for shape retention good dry running qualities limited diffusion tendency into the
metal surfaces minimal stick/slip drag effect
The material which best meets these requ-irements is a special compound on thebasis of the fluor elastomer VITON.To exploit the special characteristics tothe fullest extent, the following criteriamust also be considered:
special design shapes backing compound materials optimum mixture consistency optimally balanced hardness precision in gliding surfaces design of locations for defined
presetting of seals
Commercially available seals in shockabsorbers do not fulfill these require-ments, and as experience has shown,lead to premature failure. For LISEGAshock absorbers, a specific sealing sys-tem was developed as early as 1984 incooperation with a major seal manufact-urer. Since then, these seals havedemonstrated their worth in practicalapplication.
Alongside other successful qualificationprocedures through artificial ageing andfatigue tests, a qualification test proced-ure was carried out on LISEGA shockabsorbers in 1992 by order of a major European nuclear utility. The tests cer-tified a maintenance free service life of at least 23 years in nuclear power plants under normal operating condi-tions.
Control indicatorsThe piston position of the shock ab-sorbers can be read from all sides bychecking the scale rings on the body of the cylinder. The sturdy stainless steelshroud connected to the piston rod pro-tects it from mechanical damage, dirtand heat and also serves as an indicator.
The fluid level of the reservoir is indi-cated by the position of the reservoir piston. A sight glass can be used for checking the minimum level in type 30.Type 31 has a marked indicator rodattached to the base of the externalreservoir.

Shock absorbers are pre-cision-made, safety-relatedcomponents. Corresponding care must therefore be takenwhen handling them.For the flawless functioning of the shock absorbers it isessential that the following instructions are observed.
Transport and storageShock absorbers and related componentsshould be stored in closed rooms and pro-tected from dirt and damage. Transportationmust therefore be carried out with great care.LISEGA recommends that the shock absorbersremain in their original packing until just bef-ore installation. Any damage during shipment,off loading, on site transportation or instal-lation must be reported to the manufacturer immediately.
Delivery conditionShock absorbers are supplied as fully oper-ational units, complete with hydraulic fluid,
ready for service. The connecting lugs for type 30 are connected at one end with thebase, at the other with the piston rod andsecured by locking bolts.For type 31 the bottom end lug and cylinder base form a unit.
LISEGA shock absorbers are made entirelyfrom non-corroding materials, so they needno additional surface treatment. The threadedconnecting lugs are electrogalvanized andwhite chromatized.
Type 35 weld-on brackets are supplied sepa-rately, including fitted pins. Their surface hasa protective coating of weldable primer.
For transportation, type 30 shock absorbersare supplied packaged individually in pur-pose made boxes with pistons fully retrac-ted. Type 31 are fixed on special woodenskids.
For these unit sizes, the actual installationdimensions are preset at the factory.
InstallationShock absorbers must be inspected for da-mage before installation. Also, the connec-ting lugs must be checked for tight fits. Thestruc-tural attachments on site and weld-onbrackets must be completely welded. Thearrange-ment of the weld-on brackets mustbe such that the maximum angular displace-ment takes place in the direction of thegreatest thermal expansion in service.Lateral displacement is limited to a maxi-mum of 6. Any twisting of the weld-on
brackets against each other should be pre-vented because of the limitation on move-ment resulting from this.
All welding at the connections or in their vicinity should be completed before installingthe shock absorbers.
For installation, type 30 shock absorbers mustbe set at the required installation length (theconnection pin to connection pin dimension)by extending the piston rods. This must bedone slowly, smoothly and below the lockupvelocity to avoid blocking the shock absor-ber. Smaller types can be extended by hand.The weight of the larger shock absorbers canbe exploited to help extend them by hangingthe unit to the connecting lug of the pistonrod.
The shock absorbers can be installed in prac-tically any conceivable position. The pistonrod should be connected to the heat con-ducting component to dissipate, via the pro-tective shroud, any heat from radiation.
The installation position of the absorbersshould be so selected as to offer easy accessto the sight glass for fluid inspection duringservice checks.

3Welding the weld-on bracketsThe following procedure is recommended for the welding of weld-on brackets:
The minimum weld seam thickness a for type 35 weld-on brackets is dependent onthe angular displacement and . A per-missible stress of 90N/mm 2 at load caseLevel A formed the basis of the calculation.
If the angular displacement increases to90, the permissible loads are reduced byapproximately 15% at a constant weld seamthickness (a min at = 45 ).For permissible loads, see load table in
Technical Specifications, page 0.5
Welding procedure1. Remove pins from weld-on brackets2. Preheat weld-on brackets, from
type 35 79 19 onwards, to 100C3. Use base electrodes4. Welding should be performed in layers
to avoid welding distortion.(For sequence, see diagram)
5. Allow bracket to cool to 100Cafter each welding layer
Type 31
=15 = 6
=30 = 6
=45 = 6
The connections to the various attachmentstructures must be form-fit for load actu-ation. All threaded connections in the flux of force must be tightened with sufficienttorque.
If, after installation, any welding on theattachment structure is performed near theinstalled shock absorber, care must be takenthat no welding current strays through thebody of the snubber.
After installing the complete system, it isrecommended that each unit be inspectedfor the following:
A. Correct fitting of form-fit connections for load actuation (locking screws on the connec-ting lugs, secure pins, threaded connec-tions).
B. All installation points must be checkedfor adequate freedom of movement duringthermal expansion. Care must be taken toallow the connecting lugs to move freely inthe connection brackets and care also takento prevent the piston from reaching the endposition.
For the piston position, a safety zone of10mm at each end of the cylinder stroke isrecommended. The position can be read fromthe travel scale.
Before commissioning the plant, a full visualinspection of all shock absorbers and instal-lation situations is recommended.

For normal operating conditions shock absor-bers are designed to function for the entire40 year life of a plant. The seals and hyd-raulic fluid should be changed at least onceduring this period, at the latest after 20years.
However, under certain conditions (extremestresses) shock absorbers can experience pre-mature ageing and increased mechanical wear.Preventive maintenance is recommended inorder to make sure the shock absorbers re-main fully operational and reliable. This main-tenance is the responsibility of the plant ope-rators.
Measures
1. Regular inspection -visual inspection, once per year
2. Extended inspection -function tests, 12 years aftercommissioning at the latest.
ImplementationInspection and maintenance work should becarried out by specially trained personnel.LISEGA servicing specialists can do this if required. For dynamic function tests, qualifiedtest benches which can also be brought tothe plant are available.
1. Regular inspectionRegular inspection should involve a visualinspection carried out once a year on all unitsinstalled. The first inspection should takeplace immediately before commissioning.
During the regular inspection, not only theshock absorbers must be inspected, but alsothe environmental conditions and installationsituation. The check list should include thefollowing points:
all units to be inspected, notinginstallation position
planned operational connectiondisplacements
special environmental or operatingconditions.
any maintenance work previouslycarried out.

SHOCK ABSORBERSMAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Shock absorbers are com-ponents of great safety-related significance for aplant. They offer protec-tion to the piping systemand other componentsagainst dynamic over-loading due to unplannedload events. As these areunpredictable, the comp-lete functional safety of theshock absorbers must beguaranteed at all times.
8/9/2019 3 - Shock Absorbers, Energy Absorbers, Rigid Struts
21/443.18
The following should be checked at theinstalled position:
Conformity of name plate data withcheck list.
Correct form fitting of all connections forload actuation
Correct freedom of movement of shockabsorber during operating displacements
Position of main piston rod as regardssufficient stroke, including travel reserve(min. 10 mm).
Exterior condition of shock absorber forany damage or leakage.
Surrounding area for possible signs ofunusual operating conditions,e.g. increased temperature
Fluid indicator level
As long as the reservoir piston cannot beseen through the sight glass there is suffi-
cient fluid in the reservoir. If the piston isvisible, it must be assumed that fluid hasbeen lost.
Observations and findings are to be recordedon the check list and if required, recommen-dations for corrective action made.
2. Extended inspectionAn extended inspection is carried out after 12 years of operation, whereby a number of installed shock absorbers (min. 2 units per type) are subjected to an additional functiontest. After successful testing, the shock ab-sorbers can be reinstalled for further service.In the event of deviations in performance,the shock absorber in question should bedismantled and the function-related parts in-spected. The plant operators are responsiblefor taking and documenting any correctivemeasures.
The scope of testing and the selection of shock absorbers should be agreed on by therelevant plant department and the serviceengineer responsible. Special considerationis to be given to various stress factors(temperature, radiation, loads, operationalvibrations).
The timing and scope of the next ExtendedInspection is to be decided on the basis of inspection results recorded.
After approximately 20 years of operation atthe latest, it is recommended that the hydraulicfluid and seals are replaced in all shock
absorbers. Following this work, carried outby trained personnel using original LISEGAspare parts, and after successful functiontesting, the shock absorbers can be usedagain for a further 20 years.

DYNAMIC PIPE CLAMPSTYPE 36, 37
3.19
Instability caused by twisted clamps of thefrictional grip type (fig. 1) is especially dan-gerous. Because of the unavoidable creepcharacteristics of preset metals a lasting fric-tional grip cannot be maintained at hightemperatures by way of simple bolt preset-ting. Even oversize boltings do not solve theproblem, because on corresponding preset-ting they would cause impermissible contrac-tion of the pipe (pipe squeezer).
A typical fault is too soft a clamp design(fig. 2), where the necessary stiffness isnot attained.
Care should be taken that the connec-tions on the pipe clamps fit snugly.
So that no constraints arise, sufficientroom for lateral movement ondisplacement in the piping systemmust be guaranteed.
Prevention of twisting through shear lugsTo prevent twisting, LISEGA recommends onprinciple the use of shear lugs with dynamicpipe clamps (fig. 3, 5, 6). This way, definedand verifiable behavior is ensured.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
Fig. 4
The lugs maintain the position of the pipeclamps in the expected direction of force andare not subjected to any significant load(fig. 5). Even in the load case, no significantlateral stresses are produced, as the frictionforces on the contact surface of the pipeunder load provide a secure grip.
Because of the slight forces to be absorbed,welding stress can be kept to a minimum,despite the small dimensions of the shear lugs. Generally, they are kept below 35% of the yield strength, or creep stress limit for load condition H, according to the permis-sible values in ASME / DIN codes.
Frictional grip with the help of disc springsIf the welding of lugs is not possible for anyfundamental reason, LISEGA offers dynamicpipe clamps fitted with disc springs (fig. 4).Via correspondingly dimensioned sets of springs, a lasting torque for permanent frictiongrip can be produced.

If no special arrangement is ordered, thebracket connection is so fitted that the mainangulation range runs along the axis of thepipe. For type 37, the weld-on bracket is tobe ordered separately.
3LISEGA standard designTo provide the ideal solution for all areas of application and at the same time achievethe most favorable performance weightratios, LISEGA offers four standard designs.
Dynamic pipe clamps as hanger clampsThe given permissible loads have been cal-culated for dynamic operation with shockabsorbers / rigid struts in accordance with thedynamic load spectra shown on page 3.10.
In special cases the dynamic clamps are fittedas hanger clamps, under permanent staticload. In this case, the given permissible loadshave to be reduced as per the following table:
Special designsIn some cases, special designs can be a use-ful alternative to pipe clamps types 36 and37. Especially in cases of parallel and angu-lated arrangements, standardized designand calculation methods have proven their worth.
SelectionThe selection tables are divided according topipe diameters. Via the temperature rangesand the permissible loads, the type designa-tion for the appropriate clamp is found. After that, the installation dimensions are to bechecked using the drawing. Special attentionmust be given to the lug connections of shockabsorbers, energy absorbers or rigid struts.If the standard pin connection d1 does notfit, another appropriate weld-on bracket (seepage 3.8) can be provided.

LISEGA dynamic pipe clamps are suppliedready for installation complete with all thenuts and bolts required.It is recommended that units be stored onlyin closed rooms. If storage in the open isunavoidable, they must be protected fromdirt and moisture.
Prevention of twisting To prevent the clamp from twisting, it isrecommended that a shear lug be weldedto the pipe (see also page 3.19).The lug dimensions can be found in theselection tables for dynamic clamps onpages 3.21 3.30.
Type 36This design has a solid upper yoke with inte-grated connection bracket and, depending onthe load range, one or two U-bolts with inlayplate are provided.
For installation, remove the preassembledU-bolts. Then place the yoke over the shear lug. Reassemble the U-bolt and inlay from
the opposite side, tightening the nuts onlylightly at first. Then check and position theclamp as required. Finally, the nuts can beproperly tightened and countered.
DYNAMIC PIPE CLAMPSINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Type 37This is the heavier type for larger pipe dia-meters and higher loads. Normally, thebracket type 35 is welded to the upper yoke.If the bracket is supplied loose on customer request, it must be welded on site followingthe welding instructions on page 3.16. Thecounterpart to the yoke consists of one or two flat steel straps depending on load. Thestraps are pinned to the yoke to make trans-port easier. For installation, the straps mustbe removed from the forked blocks by loo-sening the pin connection. The yoke isplaced on the shear lug. From the oppositeside the flat steel strap is fitted into the bolt-on clevises, fixed with the pins and securedby cotter pins. The clamp is then checked andpositioned as required.
Finally the nuts are properly tightened. Thehex nuts must be locked in position by ben-ding the tab washers to prevent uninten-tional loosing.

Short lived but high magnitude fluid transientloads can be compensated by smaller, definedsupport loads. As a result, if energy absor-bers are installed, any reinforcement of exis-ting structures can be dispensed with.In new constructions, the load limitationpermits a more economical use of steel rightfrom the start.
Replacement for box frame constructionsEnergy absorbers are ideally suited to theguidance and limitation of thermal move-ments. This way, not only are the usual andoften expensive box frame constructions notrequired, but frictional forces between the
piping and the frame are also avoided.
Pipe whip restraint An ideal application for energy absorbers isas protection from pipe whip. When used inangular arrangements, large forces can beabsorbed. The direction of defined lines of force can be determined by the arrangement.The advantage over U-bolt designs consistsin the far less restricted effective radius.
ENERGY ABSORBERTYPE 32
A fully deve-loped concept is
needed for the best pos-sible protection of plant components
against pressure shocks. In the specific useof the most appropriate components, safety and economic efficiency need not excludeeach other.
Field of applicationThe field of application for LISEGA energyabsorbers lies roughly between the LISEGArigid struts and shock absorbers. Energy ab-
sorbers are used just like these components,to suppress abrupt displacements in pipingor other components. In contrast to rigidstruts and shock absorbers, energy absorbersare equipped with an adjustable free stroke(0 30mm) allowing slight thermal move-ments without any resistance.
Conversion into deformation energy After passing through the free stroke, possiblepressure shocks are absorbed by limitingstops, and up to a defined load maximum(nominal load) are transferred to the surroun-ding structure. Forces in excess of this or peaks of force are converted into deformationenergy by the energy absorbers, rather thanloading the other attached components.Piping displacements within the adjusted rangeof the free stroke are acceptable, providedthat the permissible stresses are not therebyexceeded. If necessary, corresponding proof must be supplied. Special software andadvice can be offered if required.
Maintenance-free useLISEGA energy absorbers are ideal for dealingwith small or negligible thermal movementswhen connected components are to be pro-tected from dynamic overload in a controlledmanner. The energy absorbers contain nowear parts of any kind, and therefore re-quire no maintenance.
Protection from water hammer Energy absorbers are ideal for protectingother connected components against pos-sible water hammer.

Analysis of piping behavior Where energy absorbers are used, the GAPPprogram can be applied to perform seismicand fluid transient analysis. GAPP allowspiping to displace within the permissible tole-rance for the movements. For the load event,the specific load limiting property of energyabsorbers is taken into account.In response spectrum analyses, the programreproduces an equivalent linear spring charac-teristic to approximate to the non-linear situa-tion. When fluid transient analyses are per-formed, the program uses time historymethods.
The unique capacity of the energy absor-ber to take up and convert kinetic energy brings the user valuable benefits:
limitation of dynamic loads for attachedcomponents
lighter steel constructions enabled
no need to strengthen auxiliarystructures
small installation dimensions minimizedanger of interference
thermal piping movement not impeded
no maintenance required due toabsence of wear parts
no recurrent testing required
simple installation via lengthadjustment
Replacement of shock absorbersWhere thermal movements are relatively small,energy absorbers constitute an ideal replace-ment for earlier types of shock absorbers,often prone to failure. In this way, costlyrepairs and recurrent tests are avoided.
Development cooperationThe development of type 32 energy absor-bers is the result of specific and successfulcooperation between SARGENT & LUNDY,aleading American engineering company, and
LISEGA .
SARGENT & LUNDY also created the calcula-tion software, or GAPP program. Both thisprog-ram and the energy absorbers themsel-ves have been rigorously tested by theAmericanNRC (Nuclear Reactor Commission),and approved for use in nuclear power stati-ons.

MODE OF OPERATIONAn energy absorber works via an adjustablefree stroke that absorbs thermal movements.The adjustment of this free stroke can bemade in the range of 25 mm (for a mediumsized design). Within this range the pipe isfree to move without resistance. Dynamicshocks, on the other hand, are limited intheir movement by stops. The resulting forcesare transferred to the surrounding structuresup to the given nominal load, and whenabove that, are transformed into deforma-tion energy by the energy absorber. Thishas the effect of providing a controlled pro-tection from overload for the attached com-ponents.
The unit consists of an austenitic outer sleeve(A) with a defined undersize, into whichtapered bronze disks (B) have been forcefitted. The outer sleeve is closed off with abase plate (C), onto which the connectionlug (D) is attached. Forces are transferredthroughout the whole unit by the stops (E)and the shaft (F).
In the event of a dynamic force exceedingthe insertion force of the tapered disks(nominal load), the disk affected is drivenforward and leads to an expansion of thesleeve. This way, the excess forces are keptclear of the attachment structures via con-version into deformation energy. If such aprocess has occurred, the advance of thetapered disk affected can be read off on theindicator rod (G).
