Methods and principles for selecting pipe racks

This post was last edited by jinqhuaxz on 2017-1-25 at 12:56. The forces and displacements for each support have been calculated; what’s unclear are the methods and principles for selecting the type and range of standard supports. Please offer some guidance.
Bro, there are several versions of the software. I use SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION. It is not designed specifically for pipelines, but it can also handle other mechanical designs.
You haven’t even decided on the type of bracket; how is the force at the constraint points determined? Different constraints have a significant impact on the stress in piping systems.
I know the types of pipe rack supports, but I don’t know how to select the appropriate model from the pipe rack standards. There are no standards for hands, sigh
You must have pipe rack standards and catalogs, all with codes, which makes it very easy to choose!
The design institute has a complete set of such materials, but they are generally not shared outside. You can take a look at Chapter 15 of the Process Piping Installation Design Manual, which is titled \"Piping Supports and Hangers\" – it contains relevant information
HG21629 pipe rack standard drawings 1-5 are easy to download; if you can’t find them, feel free to contact me
You can refer to the standard pipe rack drawing HG21629 :)
