A pipe rack is installed under the tee

Can pipe supports be installed under tees for large pipes with a diameter of DN1000 or more? Please provide an answer

However, the installation of pipe racks always requires design calculations; it’s not necessary to have a pipe rack under every tee. It is always necessary to minimize investment as much as possible while still meeting the requirements.
Check if there is a more suitable location; using a pipe rack at the tee connection might be too close to the weld seam.
It’s possible to do this, especially when the branch pipes of the tee are oriented upward and need to be connected directly to flanges or large valves; in such cases, support must be added here.
My tee branch is oriented upward; there’s a elbow connected to it followed by a valve or something, so it can only be positioned this way
Yes, let’s do the calculations to see if we need to add reinforcement plates to the tee joint.
