| The PSA Mechanical Shock Arrestor
(Snubber) was designed to protect piping systems and
other associated components such as valves, pumps, and
steam generators from abnormal movement resulting from
water hammer, plant transients, earthquakes, etc.
The PSA Mechanical Snubber controls unwanted movement
by becoming a load carrying member between the piping
and structure the instant a force sufficient to cause abnormal
movement is initiated. The potentially damaging motion
is arrested before it has a chance to develop. However,
for normal thermal motion movement, the PSA Mechanical
Snubber telescopes freely in either direction through
its full operating stroke. |
