Pipe Guides - Pumps, Valves, Piping and Fittings
Marine pipe guides are supports that control lateral and axial movement of shipboard piping while allowing designed thermal expansion. They are used with seawater, ballast, fuel, steam, hydraulic, cooling-water and other marine piping systems.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Pipe Guides for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Design and selection may reference MSS SP-58 and MSS SP-69, ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, or EN 13480 as applicable. Material traceability and coating requirements are normally specified by the shipyard or project. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Pipe guides are generally approved as part of the piping support design or ship system by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK. Approval requirements depend on vessel type, service and project specifications. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install guides at locations shown on approved piping-support drawings. Maintain the specified clearance for thermal movement, align the guide with the pipe centerline, and avoid restricting expansion or creating unintended load paths. Protect insulation and coatings during installation. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect periodically for corrosion, loosened fasteners, damaged welds, seized sliding surfaces and contact with insulation. Verify that the pipe can move as designed and renew damaged protective coatings. |
| Safety Notes | Confirm the pipe is depressurized, drained and isolated before work. Use approved lifting and hot-work procedures. Do not remove or modify guides without engineering approval, as incorrect restraint can cause pipe stress, leakage or structural damage. |
