Design of supports for low-temperature pipelines (LNG)
Thread Content
Are there any special requirements or relevant standard specifications regarding the design of supports on LNG pipelines?；
As far as I know, the support installation for LNG cryogenic pipelines requires stress calculations and cannot be arranged arbitrarily. In addition, for any type of low-temperature pipe rack, it is necessary to avoid cold bridges; the material used for the pipe rack must also be resistant to low temperatures. The insulation method is another factor to consider. Many such LNG low-temperature pipelines use vacuum jackets, and their installation is usually carried out by specialized manufacturers of jacketed pipes – in such cases, it is best for them to handle the construction of the pipe rack as well.
