Piping Supports:

Requirements of piping supports in piping system are:

·         To carry the weight of the pipe, fittings, valves with/without insulation, with operating/test fluid.

·         To provide adequate stiffness to the piping against external loads such as wind load, ice, snow, seismic load etc.

·         To avoid overstressing of the piping material.

·         To avoid of sagging of pipe which creates draining problem.

·         To control the thermal expansion/contraction in desired manner.

·         To withstand & dampen vibration produced by connected equipment such as pump, compressor etc..

Supports:

1. Hanger/Support: To sustain the dead weight of the piping system.

Types are:

·         1.Rigid Hanger

·         2.Spring Hanger : a. Variable B. Constant

·         3.Shoes

·         4.Trunnions

2. Restraint: To restrict the movement due to thermal/dynamic loading.

·         Types:

·         Anchor

·         Guide

·         Directional Anchor

·         U Clamps

·         Struts

     3. Vibration Absorbers: To restrict the movement due to vibration caused  by          wind,earthquake,fluid flow.

    Types:

•        Snubber                        
•        Sway Bruce                      
•                Hold down
