7. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
All Supports should be modeled as Physical support in 3D Model(Except rest as logical

support).
Support mark and legend should be extracted from 3D-Model with MTO.
Label of Standard pipe support shall have all information to identify and to fabricate perfectly.
Vent & Drains should be braced with main pipe for the lines anticipating vibration as per piping
stress engineer’s requirements.
7.1 Pipe support activities should take care below points
The group or designer responsible for pipe support design shall ensure that the following
activities are undertake and completed in a timely fashion in accordance with the project
schedule:
- Review project pipe support standard to ensure suitability for the project.
- Review pipe system routings for each area and advise piping design group of reasonable
modifications that may be made, to ensure that piping systems are supported efficiently
and economically, including small bore piping systems.
- Design and locate all pipe supports for all large bore (piping 2”/50mm diameter and greater)
piping systems, by 3D CAD model, piping general arrangement or isometric.
- Ensure all pipe supports are fully detailed with notes as necessary, such that the supports
may be correctly installed by the mechanical contractor at site.
- Design and locate all pipe supports for critical small bore (piping less that 2”/50mm
diameter) piping systems, as deemed necessary by review.
- Advise pipe stress group of any modifications to pipe support locations or details made to
those as shown on pipe stress calculations.
- Transmit pipe load information to the structural steel group as required for design of
structures(including pipe-racks)
- Advise structural steel/civil group of any additional support members requiring specialist
structural/civil design.
- Review structural design to ensure requirements are correctly incorporated
- Review/coordinate underground layout to ensure space for pipe support foundation

requirements, particularly around rotating equipment

Doc. No. :

Page : 12 / 19
- Transmit pipe load information to the civil underground group as required. Advise of
additional pipe support foundations that may require specialist design.
- Transmit pipe support vessel clip requirements to the vessel group (including small bore
piping systems as required).
- Review issued vessel drawings to ensure information is correctly incorporated.
- Complete the spring assembly drawing
- Produce all special pipe derail drawings.
- Produce pipe support material take-offs as required by the project.
- Ensure that the project sub-contract requisition contains all necessary information with
regards to the mechanical contractor’s responsibility in supporting piping systems,
including small bore piping systems.
- Depending on project size and requirements, no all of the above activities may be
necessary. Advice shall be taken from the lead piping engineer, lead pipe stress engineer
of Chief engineer pipe stress analysis at the start of each project so that project
requirements are clearly understood and met.
7.2 Pipe support Location
7.2.1 Pipe Spans
Piping systems shall be supported at distances such that pipe sagging (deflection) is
minimized. Special attention shall be given to changes in direction, particularly those with
vertical pipe lengths. Pipe deflections give rise to pockets that are difficult to drain and may
undermine plan operation. Deflections for oil and gas plant piping shall be restricted to 12mm.
Where project specific pipe spans are not available, then piping should be supported at spans
in accordance with best engineering practice. Maximum pipe spans for non-metallic piping
should be in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.
Maximum guide spacing for pipe runs are as per best engineering practice.
Where pipe stress calculations are available then the pipe support locations shown in the
calculation shall be adhered to, unless permission is sought for the pipe stress engineer to do
otherwise.
For hot lines the possibility of resting supports lifting off the supporting member must be
considered. If springs are not used, support locations shall be carefully considered. A typical
example of this is where a pipe rises from grade on to a pipe-rack and the supports at the top
and/or bottom are required to be sited a suitable distance from the vertical let. In instances
where the support could possibly lift-off, it may be advisable to install guides on the vertical
section.

Doc. No. :

Page : 13 / 19
7.2.3 Thermal Expansion:
When selecting and locating pipe supports provision shall be made for expansion of the pipe
system in operation, typical examples of where this may occur are in pipe racks, where
insufficient space is allocated between pipes, and on branches where a guide is placed too
close to the main run pipe.
To ensure that sufficient flexibility is allowed when locating pipe guides etc., a simple
monograph shall be used to calculate a required pipe length for a given pipe expansion length,
temperature and pipe size.
7.2.4 Special considerations:
Special attention shall be given to piping systems that experience the following characteristics:
- Shock loading and Hammering

- Slug flow
- Dynamic amplification
- Vibration
- Acoustic fatigue
- Cryogenic condition (cold insulated lines)
7.2.5 Detail design
There are two fundamental principles for the routing of lines for economic support and
restraint
1. Group lines such that the number of individual support steels is minimized.
2. Locate lines and group of lines close to available points of support.
Piping shall not be supported from other pipe except we have no choice but to use pick-up
support, a reasonable pipe route modification shall be sought.
7.2.6 General requirements
The heat generated by welding attachments close to pipe seams and branches can affect
weld strength on pipe. ASME B31.3 stipulates a minimum distance of 25mm for fabrication
welds. Welded attachment shall not have less than 50mm between welds.
Unless stated otherwise by the project, friction forces on support members induced by the
movement of the supported pipe shall be calculated on the basis of a friction co-efficient.
7.2.7 Pipe shoes:
Pipe shoes are generally used on insulated lines to protect insulation from damage and allow
the piping system to move freely. Shoe heights are normally STD at either 100mm or 150mm
dependent insulation thickness. Pipe shoes may be used in other circumstances: sloped lines,
special guide systems or on base type springs. Selecting a pipe shoe of the correct length is

Doc. No. :

Page : 14 / 19
also important, particularly for high temperature lines and for lines on pipe-racks/tracks, where
pipe shoes may fall off the supporting member and act as a line stop when the line cools.
In cases where the supported pipe is special material, not carbon steel and stainless,
clamped shoes shall be considered.
7.2.8 Wear pads:
Wear pads or saddles shall be used at locations of point or line support for horizontal pipe
runs where: D/t>95 (“D” mm=Pipe outside dia, “t” mm = Min. Wall thickness)
7.2.9 Pipe Trunnions
Trunnion size selection shall be made from pipe material for the project. Where a point of
support is required at a change of direction, it is common to weld trunnions to pipe elbows.
Care should be taken that the welding of a trunnion to an elbow does not reduce the overall
flexibility of the piping system, this is particularly important adjacent to rotating equipment and
on pipe rack/track expansion loops, in these cases advice shall be taken from the pipe stress
engineer.
Deformation should not arise from the welding of trunnions to thin wall pipe.
Double trunnions are preferable to single trunnions when considering support stability and
load distribution.
7.2.10 Anchors, Line stops and Guides
When welding attachments to act as pipe guides it is important to provide a clearance(usually

2mm) to compensate for misalignment. Line stops also require such a clearance in order that
the stop does not inhibit the lateral movement of the pipe. Where the stop is bearing against
concrete it is advisable to cast a steel bearing plate in the concrete in order to distribute the
load and to reduce frictional resistance for lateral movements. Where a stress calculation
shows a specific guide clearance other than the minimum clearance, then this requirement
shall be clearly transmitted to the mechanical sub-contractor, generally via an isometric.
7.2.11 Pipe Hangers
Hanger rod supports shall be of sufficient length to enable the swing caused by the pipe
horizontal movement from resulting in an undesired vertical displacement.
The maximum angle from vertical shall be +/-2.5 degrees (total 5 degrees).
Pipe hangers shall not be used in piping systems subject to two phase flow, pulsation or
vibration, where a degree of control is required.

Doc. No. :

Page : 15 / 19
7.2.12 Spring Hangers
Piping systems which are subject to variation in operating movements can produce vertical
movements that may require supporting by a spring assembly. The spring assembly shall be
designed to carry the piping weight whilst catering for this movement.
The load to be carried by the spring is usually operating load. The setting of the spring
should allow the pipe weight to be adequately supported without inhibiting the operating
movement.
Generally springs shall not be used where a reasonable piping modification would render the
use of a spring unnecessary.
Spring Hanger Operation :
a. Maximum deviation from spring constant rate of change for variable spring hangers as
published in Vendor’s Catalog must not exceed 25 percent on either the heavy or the light
side.
b. Variable and constant spring hangers shall be calibrated, tested and present so that the
marked operating load is within 2 percent of the load shown on the hanger drawing after
prescribed movement.
c. Constant support hangers must have a field load adjustment of at least 10 percent on
either side of the Operating hot load setting.
d. Hanger assembly shall be capable of deflecting 4°minimum from vertical position

between pivot point with no appreciable effect on the operational function of the assembly.
e. Travel stops shall be supplied with each spring hanger assembly. The travel stops,
presetting the spring at the installation load and also needed during hydrotest, shall
restrict : both upward and downward movement. These stops are to be painted with a
bright ORANGE color and shall have an orange warning note, “REMOVE TRAVEL
STOPS AFTER HYDROTEST” securely tied with corrosion resistant wire.
f. Travel stops to be attached to the hanger housing in a manner (link chain) such that they
are an integral part of the assembly and cannot be easily discarded when removed.
g. Where the spring hangers assembly cannot support the hydrotest load, hanger rod
components must be supplied and shipped together with the assembly and clearly marked
“FOR USE DURING HYDROTEST ONLY”
h. Purchaser must receive formal notification of each spring hanger assembly not capable of
sustaining the hydrotest load. These assemblies must be labeled : “REMOVE THIS
ASSEMBLY DURING HYDROTEST”.

Doc. No. :

Page : 16 / 19
i. Spring housing shall have as a minimum thickness the following :
Nominal Housing OD Thickness

IN MM IN MM
3 76 1/8 3
4–8 101 – 203 3/16 4
10 – 12 254 – 305 1/4 6
j. Beams supplied by the manufacture in spring hanger assemblies shall be designed so

that the maximum load as indicated on the specification drawing, the maximum center
deflection will not exceed 1/16” (1.6 mm)
k. Spring hanger assemblies do not include weights of riser clamps, spring housing, rods,
pipe clamps or connecting beams in the design loads shown on the specification drawings.
Manufacturer shall adjust calculated loads to accommodate this additional weight. This
new calculated load shall be indicated on the Vendor’s bill of materials.
7.2.13 Spring Types
Constant: A constant spring is one which the load setting does not vary by more than a fixed
amount from any external source throughout the total travel range. These supports are
normally provided with travel scale, load adjustment scale, “hot” and “cold” setting and limit
stops to prevent over travel or release of the springs.
Variable: A variable spring is one in which the load setting varies with the pipe movement.
Springs in this category have provision for making the “cold” and “hot” settings. Limit stops are
normally provided to prevent excessive travel from overstressing the spring or releasing of the
load
Design data for spring selection to be prepared. Spring installation, commissioning &
sequence procedure shall be considered while selecting springs.
7.3 Pipe supports at Equipment
7.3.1 Tower and vessels
Piping on Towers shall generally have the first support point as close to the tower nozzle
connection as possible.
Piping routed down the length of the tower shall have guides located at spacing distances as
per good engineering practice.
Pipe support attachment clips shall be welded to the tower or vessel shell by the vessel
fabricator before vessel testing. Details for support clip requirements shall be issued to the
vessel group for distribution to the vessel fabricator. The welding of clips adjacent to vessel
seam welds shall be avoided.

Doc. No. :

Page : 17 / 19
Addition to, or the modification of, structural platforms to support piping shall also be
investigated where this may reduce the number of clip attachments to a vessel.
7.3.2 Pumps, compressors and turbines
The pipe support requirements for piping systems connected to rotating equipment is normally
available from pipe stress calculations. The support arrangement usually incorporates lines
stops and guides to direct thermal expansion away from the nozzles, hence reducing nozzle
loads.
Nozzle loadings for cast steel centrifugal pumps are normally strong enough to take API-610
loadings, but cast iron pumps are weaker and vendor shall be asked to supply maximum
permitted loads.
Piping weights shall be taken off all nozzles preferably by the use of adjustable type supports
or in the case of hot pumps by spring supports.
The location of pipe supports shall not interfere with pump maintenance access requirements
and maximum use shall be made of existing steel structures.
The first two supports on centrifugal compressor and turbine nozzles are usually spring
supports. Pipe support shall be located such that the impact on maintenance access is
minimized.
Piping systems at reciprocating compressors shall be routed at grade on concrete sleepers to

ensure that pipe vibrations are not transmitted to the compressor or building foundation,
operating floor steel or building frame. Weld attachment shall not be considered. In all cases
pipe support types and locations shall be decided in accordance with the pipe stress
engineer’s requirements.
On deep well pumps with turbines in vertical position this may be unavoidable, but clearance
shall be allowed for lifting the pump barrel vertically for maintenance.
7.3.3 Shell and Tube heat exchangers
Shell and tube heat exchangers shall be located such that the fixed end support is nearest the
rack, hence the piping shall expand with the exchanger. Piping shall be usually routed from
nozzle to grade so that the exchanger block valves are accessible. Support points shall
preferably be located at the same elevation as the underside of the exchanger, thus
eliminating reactive forces due to differing thermal expansion lengths. Piping systems
connected to tube side nozzles often have removable spools to allow for tube bundle removal
and these piping systems shall be supported such that there is minimal deflection at the
connecting break flange when the spool is removed.
Exchangers are usually situated on paved areas, on two elevated concrete foundations.
These foundations may be used to attach pipe support steel, but the shell of the exchanger
shall not be used. In all cases the location of pipe supports shall not interfere with the removal
of tube bundles or covers.

7.3.4 Tanks
Due to differential settlement of supports adjacent to tanks it is important that the first from a
nozzle is not positioned so close that high bending stresses shall be induced. Advice on this
problem shall be obtained from civil and the stress groups.
7.3.5 Control valve sets
Control valve sets shall be supported and guided such that the control valve may be removed
with minimum deflection in the mating flanges.
7.3.6 Relief valve sets
Support location for closed-system relief valves shall be taken from pipe stress calculations.
Generally this shall involve locating a line – stop close to the relief valve outlet to control
dynamic loads. The pipe support design shall not interfere with access requirements to block
valves or the removal of the relief valves.
Special attention shall be given to relief valve systems subject to acoustic fatigue, where
welded attachments shall only be used where absolutely necessary.
8. VIBRATION DAMPENERS.
8.1. The unit shall not restrain the piping system from moving during its normal thermal expansion
and contraction cycle.
8.2. Lost motion or freedom within the unit shall not greater than 0.030 inch (0.8 mm).
8.3. The total travel indicated on Pertamina specification drawing is “actual” calculated travel.
Adequate allowance shall be added by supplier.
8.4. The frictional resistance of the unit clue the normal thermal movement shall not exceed one (1)
percent of the rated load.
9. CERTIFICATE OF MATERIAL COMPLIANCE.
Supplier shall be required to supply a certificate of material compliance for each shipment,
stating that each item listed and included in that shipment conforms to the specifications
denoted (In the bill of material or specification and/or fabrication and installation drawings). This
certificate shall be signed by the supplier’s authorized agent and properly notarized.
