Issues related to the selection of pipe racks
Thread Content
I never understand when to use guide pipe racks, fixing pipe racks, or limiting pipe racks (for pipes for which stress calculation is not required). How should one choose the appropriate type?

What type of support is a load-bearing bracket?
Reply to 4# nihao778: Go and download a standard called \"Pipeline Support Diagrams\"; it’s quite useful. I often use it for horizontal pipe supports, T-shaped pipe supports, as well as for insulation and heat retention purposes!
Our company has its own pipe rack specifications
Reply to 1# nihao778: Put it simply. If the pipeline carries a hot medium and has a large diameter, then sliding supports are necessary, as the pipeline expands and contracts with temperature changes, which may cause variations. Such as those for heat transfer fluids. For ordinary large-diameter pipes, space is a concern; usually, ceiling spring brackets are used. As for the rest, generally, it is determined based on the medium, temperature, and site conditions; there is no fixed rule. However, it should be noted that the support materials and pipe materials generally need to be separated by gaskets; some of them cannot come into direct contact. For example, carbon steel and stainless steel cannot be connected directly.
