Hydraulic Snubbers (Dynamic Restraints)

Hydraulic Snubbers are used to control movement during abnormal conditions such as earthquakes, turbine trips, safety/relief valve closure. Snubbers allow for free thermal movement of a component during regular conditions, but restrain the component in irregular conditions. A hydraulic snubber allows for pipe deflection under normal operating conditions. When subjected to an impulse load, the snubber becomes activated and acts as a restraint in order to restrict pipe movement.

Our snubbers have pressurized hydraulic systems thus allowing their installation in any position and orientation. The fluid level of the suppressors can be easily and accurately verified through the position of the piston rods as they relate to each other.
