Hangers

Existing Springs - No Design

1. Enter the Spring Rate and the Theoretical Cold Load (installation load, on a per hanger
basis) values.
2. Enter the number of Variable Support Hangers at the location.
The hanger design algorithm does not design hangers that are completely predefined. Other
data can exist for the spring location, but this data is not used. Entered spring rates and
theoretical cold loads are multiplied by the number of hangers at this location. CAESAR II
requires the Theoretical Cold (Installation) Load to pre-define the spring.

Hot Load = 2000 pounds
Cold Load = 2000 pounds +
abs(1.375*590) = 2811 pounds
