May I ask if the span of the supports (piping) for steel-lined pipes can be determined based on the span of steel pipes?
Of course. The strength and stiffness of steel-lined pipes depend entirely on the steel pipe itself, and have nothing to do with the non-metallic lining.
The span of the pipe supports for steel-lined pipes cannot be determined directly using the spans applicable to ordinary steel pipes, as steel-lined pipes differ from ordinary steel pipes in terms of their lining material and structural characteristics; therefore, the support span must take into account the load-bearing capacity of the pipe itself as well as the effects of the lining material. It is recommended to determine the span based on specific engineering design requirements and standards. .
Reference cannot be fulfilled; the lined pipes are connected using flanges. If the spacing is based on the steel pipes, leakage may occur between the flange connections due to deflection. It should be controlled using deflection.
