Which chemical process pipelines require pipeline supports or hangers?

RT, which chemical process pipelines require the installation of pipe supports or hangers? Which standard should be referred to? Thank you!
All of them are needed; take a look at HG21629 and GB17116
Generally, for insulation and heat preservation pipelines, large-diameter overhead pipelines, and pipelines with spans exceeding the allowable range, pipeline supports or hangers must be installed. For high-temperature pipes that require displacement restrictions, or those for which temperature has an impact on the material of the support surfaces, pipe supports must be installed.
Piped systems virtually always rely on supports and hangers
High-temperature pipes and containers, as well as those subject to large temperature fluctuations, such as those used for steam or heat transfer oils, require sliding supports, spring supports, and hangers. The installation positions and loads of these supports and hangers should be determined using Caesar calculations.
