The perfect alternative for welding or chemical anchorage

Page last modified
April 11 2024

With McNetiq Pipe Supports, the installing can take place without halting any petroleum and chemical processing or tank storage operations. Being able to operate ATEX compliant, the standard components will allow you to install lines and pipe systems quickly. An additional benefit is that magnets do not affect the steel structurally, as welding can do.

Due to the magnetic forces, the systems can be used permanently. When intended to be used for a short period, then the McNetiq Pipe Supports have a clear advantage that they can be removed without the need for repairs of the original structure.

The basis of magnetic pipe support is the Rubber Block Magnet (RBM) – the blue blocks in the pipe support. The RBM is placed with an installation device. After installation, the RBM is tested with a special test device using an adjustable torque wrench.

We typically use rubber-based magnets to avoid damage to coatings and paint systems.

McNetiq developed its patented technology Controlock® that allows a safe securing of anchors on steel by using magnets. This technology is based on the ability to determine with certainty the effective load force of a magnetic connection on a steel surface. This is an absolute condition for a safe fixture since steel thickness, coatings, and air gaps are influencing the actual magnetic force. Controlock® technology is unique in enabling permanent or temporary magnetic connections. Using McNetiq's magnetic anchors with Controlock® can prevent welding or other -possibly permanently damaging- alternatives.
