Piping support spacing
Thread Content
For supports of the L-shaped and Z-shaped types like this, how is the spacing calculated based on the number of straight sections? I remember there were guidelines, but I can’t recall where
The chemical process design manual specifies that different pipe diameters require different spacing
For L-shaped structures, it generally should not exceed 0.73 times the normal span; for Z-shaped structures, it’s usually 0.5. I’ve just created a group for discussing pipelines – you can join it to have discussions. 784909710
For L-shaped and Z-shaped supports, the spacing is calculated using the conversion factor for straight pipes; this value needs to be looked up in a table. The books written by Teacher Zhang Dejiang, namely „Industrial Pipeline Layout Design and Engineering Applications“ and „Pipeline Design Techniques“, contain those tables
The main thing to consider is the weight of the insulation
Someone on the forum just shared the fifth edition of the Chemical Process Design Manual, which can be downloaded for study
