PIPE SUPPORTS 2D Piping
These should be as simple as conditions allow. Stock items are used wherever possible, especially for piping held from above. To 3D Piping
support piping from below, supports are usually made to suit from plates, pipes and pieces of structural steel. Following hardware is Models
used to create supports.

1. Rest Support: The weight of the piping is usually carried on supports made from structural steel, or steel and concrete. Piping Training
Saddle: It is a welded attachment for pipe requiring insulation, and subject to longitudinal or rolling movement (resulting
from temperature changes other than climatic). Saddles may be used with guides. Design Info

in it. You can support a pipe 1 meter away, and its size is up to 125 mm (5") NB from the structure, with 150 mm (6")
Piping
Channel, welded to the steel plate. If pipe size is more than that, 250 mm (10") Channel is welded to the steel plate. In case
support such as U bolt, U clamp or shoe are there with this support, dimension A may be changed as required, case by case.

This arrangement can carry a load up to 1,500 kgs (3,300 lbs). If the structure is made of concrete, a steel plate is embedded

If the structure is made of steel structural, support is welded directly to it. You can support a pipe 1 meter away, and its size is
up to 125 mm (5") NB from the structure, with 150 mm (6") Channel, welded to the steel structure. If pipe size is more than
that, 250 mm (10") Channel is welded to the steel structure. In case support such as U bolt, U clamp or shoe are there with
this support, dimension A may be changed as required, case by case.

If the pipe is in vertical direction, it is supported by 100 x 100 x 8 (4" x 4" x 1/4") Angle. Angle is welded to steel structure. A
support clamping, such as U bolt, U clamp or shoe are provided along the pipe.

Pipe Support Brackets: These are made of 100 x 100 x 8 (4" x 4" x 1/4") Angle. The type depends on the number and size
of pipes to be supported. It is welded at the top to a steel structure.

A shoe is provided for a hot pipe. It is also covered with insulation material. A hot pipe can run along with other pipes.

2. Hanger Support : It is a device which suspends piping (usually a single line) from structural steel, concrete or wood. These
are generally adjustable for height.
Pipe Hanger Support for Bare / Insulated pipe 1/2" through 24": A pipe clamp is tied around the pipe. It is supported
from a beam. The height from the beam is adjusted by a turn buckle.

3. Anchor Support: A rigid support which prevents transmission of movement (thermal, vibratory etc.) along piping.
Construction may be from steel plate, brackets, flanges, rods, etc. Attachment of anchors to pipe should preferably encircle
the pipe and be welded all around as this gives better distribution of stress in the pipe wall.

4. Dummy Leg Support: In this an extension piece (of pipe or rolled steel section) is welded to an elbow in order to support the
line. This part rests or anchors on some steel member.
Dummy Pipe Support for Bare pipe 2" through 24": This is provided on elbow. It is made of pipe of same material. Pipe
is covered at the end with a cap. A hole is drilled in cap. It is supported on structure.

6. Shoe: It is a piece of metal attached to the underside of a pipe, which rests on supporting steel. It is primarily used to reduce
wear from sliding for lines subject to movement. It permits insulation to be applied to pipe.

7. Slide Plate: In this two slide plates of graphite, teflon or some special materials, fixed to steel plates, are fixed to the flat
surface of the pipe support. These plates are faced for low friction able to withstand mechanical stress and temperature
changes.

8. Sway Brace: This is also called as sway arrestor. It is essentially a helical spring in a housing which is fitted between piping
and a rigid structure. Its function is to buffer vibration and sway.

Pipe Span

Maximum Spacing between Pipe Supports: The locations of piping supports are dependent upon four factors: pipe size, piping
configuration, locations of Valves and fittings, and the structure available for support. Individual piping materials have independent
considerations for span and placement of supports.
Pipe size relates to the maximum allowable span between pipe supports. Span is a function of the weight that the supports must
carry. As pipe size increases, the weight of the pipe also increases. The amount of fluid which the pipe can carry increases as well,
thereby increasing the weight per unit length of pipe.
The configuration of the piping system affects the location of pipe supports. Where practical, a support should be located adjacent
to directional changes of piping. Otherwise, common practice is to design the length of piping between supports equal to, or less
than, 75% of the maximum span length where changes in direction occur between supports. Refer to the appropriate piping material
chapters for maximum span lengths.
Valves require independent support, as well as meters and other miscellaneous fittings. These items contribute concentrated loads to
the piping system. Independent supports are provided at each side of the concentrated load.
Location, as well as selection, of pipe supports is dependent upon the available structure to which the support may be attached. The
mounting point shall be able to accommodate the load from the support. Supports are not located where they will interfere with
other design considerations. Some piping materials require that they are not supported in areas that will expose the piping material
to excessive ambient temperatures. Also, piping is not rigidly anchored to surfaces that transmit vibrations. In this case, pipe
supports isolate the piping system from vibration that could compromise the structural integrity of the system.
Spacing is a function of the size of the pipe, the fluid conveyed by piping system, the temperature of the fluid and the ambient
temperature of the surrounding area. Determination of maximum allowable spacing, or span between supports, is based on the
maximum amount that the pipeline may deflect due to load. Typically, a deflection of 2.5 mm is allowed, provided that the
maximum pipe stress is limited to 1,500 psi or allowable design stress divided by a safety factor of 415, whichever is less. Some
piping system manufacturers and support system manufacturers have information for their products that present recommended
spans in tables or charts. These data are typically empirical and are based upon field experience.
