There are four main types of loads on piping systems: sustained loads from dead weight; thermal expansion loads from temperature changes; occasional loads from seismic activity, wind, and snow; and dynamic loads from impact forces, wind, seismic activity, water hammer effects, and discharge loads. Static loads include dead weight and effects from thermal expansion/contraction, supports, anchors, and internal and external forces.
