What to do if pipe supports shift
Thread Content
What to do if a pipe support has shifted? Please also analyze the reasons; I would appreciate some advice from experts. Are there any design specifications for pipe supports?
The two supports after the U-turn have shifted, while the support before the U-turn has not moved!
Can we add horizontal U-shaped bends on those two brackets?
It’s not appropriate, right? Can’t there be only one compensator between two fixed points?
Oh, I’m not in the chemical industry. I’m working on a project that features an S-shaped horizontal compensator in the middle.
Your diagram is too rough; it would be better if you illustrated the type of bracket and the distance clearly, hand-drawn drawings will work as well, so that an analysis can be done
The diagram is too simplified; the original poster should provide more information. Additional note: Stress analysis should be conducted on this pipeline, and it would be best to consult the stress report to determine the displacement of the support positions.
Based on the parameters, this pipeline is a medium-pressure steam pipeline. Such pipelines are considered stress-bearing pipelines, and the pipe supports cannot be installed arbitrarily; rather, the type and location of the supports must be determined after conducting thorough stress calculations.
