Pipe Supports and Restraints
Pipe Supports and Restraints
Supports:
Absorb system weight
Reduce:
longitudinal pipe stress
pipe sag
end point reaction loads
Restraints
Control, limit, redirect thermal movement
Reduce thermal stress
Reduce loads on equipment connections
Absorb imposed loads
Wind
Earthquake
Slug flow
Water hammer
Flow induced-vibration
Weight load
Available attachment clearance
Availability of structural steel
Direction of loads and/or movement
Design temperature
Vertical thermal movement at supports
Flexible Supports

Flexible Supports
Anchor
Full fixation
Permits very limited (if any) translation or
rotation
Guide
Permits movement along pipe axis
Prevents lateral movement
May permit pipe rotation

Pipeway:
Is the space allocated for routing several parallel
adjacent lines
Group lines in pipeway
Piperack
Is a structure in the pipeway for carrying pipes and
is usually fabricated from Steel, Concrete & steel,
also provide protected location for ancillary
equipment (pump, utility station, )

To carry the weight of the piping use a FOS = 3
In general, one hanger or other support should be specified for
each side of a valve.

Field support
For line smaller than 2 and non-critical, arrange
supports in the field
