Are there standard specifications for the spacing of pipe supports and hangers?

Are there standard specifications for the spacing of pipe supports and hangers? It can’t be that every type of medium and every type of pipeline requires on-site design calculations, right?
You can refer to the manual for petrochemical pipelines
The original poster is probably asking about the span of pipes; the \"Chemical Process Piping Design Manual\" can be consulted, as it specifies in detail the maximum spans for pipes and gas pipes of various diameters and pressure classes, whether they are insulated or not.
There are experienced values available, but manual calculations are also necessary for severe operating conditions
I don’t understand. As mentioned above, there are experienced values to use; if the requirements are quite strict, manual calculation is also necessary
There are no standard specifications available; only certain design manuals exist, such as power piping manuals, chemical process piping manuals, petrochemical piping reference manuals, chemical process design manuals, etc. The span values in these manuals are also determined by using formulas for strength and stiffness. There are also some computerized calculation tools available online for reference
