What Are Adjustable Swivel Ring Pipe Hangers Used For?

Typical applications, the industries that specify adjustable swivel ring pipe hangers, and how to choose the right size, material and finish for the joint.

Adjustable Swivel Ring Pipe Hangers are used for carrying or reinforcing a run of pipe, tray or rail, with separate bolts or rods making the final fixing. They are manufactured to Trade series (swivel ring hangers, MSS SP-58 type 10/11), and selection is driven by the nominal size, the fit and tolerance the assembly requires, and the service environment.

Application guide for Adjustable Swivel Ring Pipe Hangers to Trade series (swivel ring hangers, MSS SP-58 type 10/11). The core duty of the type is carrying or reinforcing a run of pipe, tray or rail, with separate bolts or rods making the final fixing. The typical industries, the how-to-specify checklist, assembly practice and the exclusion cases are set out below.

Typical Applications for Adjustable Swivel Ring Pipe Hangers

The most common settings where these are specified:

  • General machine building: fastening covers, brackets, motors and sub-assemblies on production equipment.
  • Maintenance & repair (MRO): a stocked size for servicing existing plant where the original fastener spec must be matched.
  • Fabrication & metalwork: bench and on-site assembly of steel frames, enclosures and weldments.

How to Specify Adjustable Swivel Ring Pipe Hangers for Your Application

  • Size: Match the size to the mating part — see the dimension table below for each option.
  • Material: Choose the material and finish for the service environment — plated steel for general use, stainless for corrosion resistance.
  • Environment: For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
  • Standard: This product is supplied to Trade series (swivel ring hangers, MSS SP-58 type 10/11). Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.

Where Adjustable Swivel Ring Pipe Hangers Are Not the Right Choice

Match the fastener to the load, environment and whether the joint must be reopened; the wrong class or style is the usual cause of joint failure.

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.
