 Sustained Loads Also loads on piping can

– Dead Weight (Weight Of be classified as
Pipe, Fittings, Fluid in Pipe,
Piping Components valves,
 Static Loads
valve Operators, flanges so – Dead Weight
on.) – Thermal Expansion and
contraction effect
 Thermal Expansion Loads
– Effects of Support, anchor
– Due to the Temperature
and thermal movements
 Occasional Loads – Internal and external loadings
– Seismic  Dynamic Loads
– Wind
– Impact forces
– Snow and etc.,
– Wind Load
– Seismic Load
– Steam & Water Hammer
effects
– Discharge Loads
