    Uploaded by

    Sushil Wadiye
    This document provides procedures and considerations for designing pipe supports, including: 1. Types of supports include unbraced, kneebraced, and alternate designs. Dimensions and weights are given in tables. 2. Design of supports involves calculating reactions, stresses, deflections. Checks are required for bracket strength, bolting, and shell stresses. 3. Alternate designs include rings to share load, spring hangers, and all-welded construction for overhead lines. Notes specify checks for bolt loads and shell stresses.

    The document discusses different types of pipe supports including unbraced, kneebraced, and alternate supports. It also provides design considerations and tables of dimensions for properly sizing and selecting pipe supports.

    The different types of pipe supports discussed include unbraced, kneebraced, and alternate supports such as inverted and spring hangers.

    Factors that should be considered when selecting and designing pipe supports include load requirements, material properties, clearance needs, insulation requirements, temperature differences, and allowable stresses and deflections.
