Product Introduction
Pipe supports are structural components used to support, fix and guide pipeline systems, ensuring the stability, safety and correct position of pipelines during installation, operation and maintenance.
1. The main functions of pipe supports
Support weight: Bear the weight of pipes, media, insulation layers, etc., to prevent sagging or deformation.
Limiting displacement: Controlling the displacement of pipelines caused by thermal expansion and contraction, vibration or external forces.
Reduce stress: Prevent pipeline rupture or fatigue damage caused by stress concentration.
Vibration isolation and noise reduction: Absorb or isolate the noise generated by mechanical vibration and fluid impact.
Maintain slope: Ensure the normal operation of systems that require a slope, such as drainage pipes.
2. Types of pipe supports
Classified by function
Fixed supports: Completely restrict the displacement of pipelines (such as welded fixed supports), used at critical nodes.
Sliding supports: Allow pipes to slide along the axial direction, adapting to thermal expansion and contraction (such as sliding supports, U-shaped supports).
Guide support: Restricts lateral displacement and allows axial movement (such as guide bearings).
Spring supports: Used for pipelines with high temperatures or large vibrations, they provide elastic support (such as variable spring supports and hangers, constant force spring supports and hangers).
Seismic supports: Used in areas prone to earthquakes to prevent pipelines from falling off due to shaking caused by earthquakes.
Classified by structure
Support: such as brackets, hangers, saddles, etc.
Hanger: Suspending pipes with a hanger rod (such as threaded hanger rods, chain hanger rods).
Bracket: A supporting structure fixed to a wall or column.
Classified by material
Metal supports: carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel (high-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant).
Non-metallic supports: plastic, composite materials (for corrosive environments or light pipelines).
3. Key design points
Load calculation: including the self-weight of pipelines, the weight of media, wind load, snow load, seismic force, etc.
Thermal displacement analysis: Considering the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline, select compensators or flexible supports.
Spacing requirements: The spacing of the supports must comply with the specifications (such as ASME B31.3, GB/T 17116), usually depending on the pipe diameter, material and medium.
Anti-corrosion measures: Galvanizing, painting or using stainless steel materials.
Installation location: Avoid weak areas such as welds and flanges, and place it close to equipment or elbows to disperse stress.
4. Installation precautions
Pre-installation inspection: Ensure that the bracket matches the pipe specifications and there is no deformation or rust.
Accurate positioning: Position according to the design drawings to avoid stress caused by forced alignment.
Tightness: Avoid being too tight (limiting displacement) or too loose (failure).
Maintenance inspection: Regularly check for rust, looseness or displacement of the support.
