ATS Pre-Engineered Pipe Anchors provide reliable, code-compliant solutions for controlling movement and stabilizing industrial piping systems. Designed and manufactured by Advanced Thermal Systems, Inc., these anchors are engineered to handle the forces generated by thermal expansion, system pressure, and mechanical loads, helping protect piping systems from displacement, misalignment, and structural stress.
Engineered Anchor Designs Based on System Loads
When properly designed, pipe anchors play a critical role in maintaining system integrity and directing thermal movement toward expansion joints and flexible connections. ATS can design anchors based on forces and moments provided by the project engineer, ensuring accurate load handling and safe system operation.
If load data is unavailable, ATS engineering specialists can perform a code-compliant pipe stress analysis to calculate applied forces and determine the appropriate anchor design. This consultative approach helps ensure every anchor meets project performance requirements while maintaining compliance with applicable piping codes and standards.
Flexible Manufacturing and Installation Options
ATS Pre-Engineered Anchors are designed for versatility and ease of installation. Anchor assemblies can be supplied in multiple configurations to match project specifications and field conditions, including:
- Anchors factory-attached to spool sections with beveled ends to match mating pipe connections
- Loose anchor assemblies designed for field installation onto existing piping systems
- Designs that accommodate varying centerline heights and load requirements
Factory-Manufactured for Performance and Reliability
ATS Pre-Engineered Anchors are manufactured in a controlled facility environment, providing consistent quality and dependable performance. Factory fabrication ensures precise alignment, accurate load capacity, and compliance with engineering specifications, reducing field installation challenges and improving long-term reliability.
By combining anchors with ATS expansion joints, ball joints, and pipe guides, customers benefit from a fully integrated piping movement control system designed to optimize performance and extend service life.
