    The selection of pipe supports considers several key parameters: 1) Process design conditions, pipe material and construction, piping loads from weight and fluids, insulation thickness and material, and piping arrangement. 2) Thermal forces and displacement on piping from temperature changes as well as occasional loads like hydrotests, seismic events, and winds. 3) The objective is to prevent piping stresses over code limits, leakage, excessive loads on equipment, overstressed supports, pipe vibration, interference with expansion and contraction, disengagement from supports, excessive sag, distortion from creep, and overheating of supports.
