Can T-type pipe racks and dry pipe racks be used as fixing pipe racks?
Thread Content
May I ask the seniors, can T-type pipe racks and dry pipe racks be used as fixing pipe racks?
The scope of the question is quite broad; could you be more specific? For reference only, as pipe specifications, bracket structures, and load-bearing capacities vary.
The pipe model is 108*3.5; dry-type supports are planned to be used. There are 8 pipes in total, with 6 on the upper layer and 2 on the lower layer. The vertical load on the upper-layer supports is 10.08 KN, while the horizontal load is 26 KN. The vertical load on the left and right supports of the lower layer is 1.68 KN, with a horizontal load of 4.5 KN. It is not clear whether the above parameters meet the requirements for using dry-type supports in this design
T-type pipe racks generally cannot withstand horizontal forces.
Depending on the pipeline scale, fixed pipe racks come in this form.
Senior, the frictional force on the pipes also counts as a horizontal force; the support pipe racks will bear it, right?
Thank you:handshake
It seems to have an atlas for reference. In terms of the style of the pipe rack, there are also differences in load-bearing capacity. No matter what type of pipe rack it is, meeting the load-bearing requirements is the top priority. As for the fixing issues, it involves fixing the pipe horizontally, while there should be a certain amount of sliding allowed vertically. To set the vertical sliding shims, use horizontal limit stops. For reference.
The friction forces acting on the sliding frame and guide frame are generally very small (compared to the horizontal thrust from the fixed frame) and can be ignored.
