This pipe support spacing calculation was developed based upon equations contained in section 6.2 of Pipe
Stress Engineering published by Peng Engineering. The calculation is applicable only for uniform pipe without
any attached concentrated weight, such as a valve. It is not applicable for the overhanging span either.

Input Data
Pipe Diameter, D mm 350.000
Pipe Wall Thickness, t mm 1.650
Empty Pipe Unit Weight, w1 kg/m 11.57
Fluid Density, d kg/m³ 1.23
Design Weight Bending Stress, S kPa 15857.9
Design Sagging Displacement, Δ mm 2.5
Safety Factor - 0.8

Result
Weight Force per Unit Weight, w kg/m 11.68
Section Modulus of the Pipe Cross-Section, Z mm^3 1.59e+5
Moment of Inertia of the Pipe Cross-Section, I mm^4 2.78e+7
Max. Support Spacing by Bending Limit, L1 mm 14824.00
Max. Support Spacing by Sagging Limit, L2 mm 11205.24
Max. Support Spacing (Lesser of L1 & L2), L m 11.21
Max. Support Spacing after Safety Factor, Lf m 8.96
