How to consider the installation of supports and hangers
Thread Content
When installing pipes, it is always necessary to consider the issue of pipe support. So how should it be arranged? Are there any specific guidelines?
In my opinion, the following points should be considered: 1. Take into account the impact of the pipeline’s own weight when arranging the necessary supports； 2. Provide necessary lateral support by taking into account the effects of wind and earthquakes ； 3. For pipes that experience thermal expansion, the support location should be adjusted according to the displacement and direction of thermal expansion ； 4. Of course, the final decision is made based on the actual locations where support can be provided on site. Support standards: Each engineering company has its own standards; if none exist, HG21626 or other standards can be referenced to select the appropriate support format.
There are books that provide specific instructions on how to set up supports and hangers; the original poster can look for one of those. Additionally, it’s useful to refer to span tables, but true mastery comes from continuous experience gained through working on various projects. :) :loveliness:
