Allowable spacing of supports for steel pipes

This procedure only applies for aboveground piping and sustained conditions. It should not be applied to piping under operating conditions, where the effect of the pressure and temperature cannot be easily calculated or considered by a simple method. In this case, a detailed computational pipe flexibility and stress analysis shall be performed.   How is the …

Sustained bending moment in pipes by using the simplified method

Bending moments is a crucial aspect to be considered in pipe systems to ensure its reliability and safety. Non-permissible bending moments could cause damage on equipment nozzles, excessive vertical pipe deflections and overstresses.  Where does the bending moment come from? Bending moments come from sustained, operating and occasional load cases. Sustained loads (W+P) are those …
