![]() It is the self weight of pipe including contained fluid, weight of pipe fittings & other inline components (say flanges, valves, insulation etc.). Primary loads are typically steady or sustained types of loads such as gravitational forces acting on the pipe such as weight of pipe and fluid, internal fluid pressure, external pressure on pipe, forces due to relief or blow down, pressure waves generated due to water/steam hammer effects, wind and seismic loads. The overall design configuration of a pipe support assembly is dependent on the loading / operating conditions and pipe support location. Pipe supports used in high or low temperature applications may also contain insulation materials. The four main functions of a pipe support are to anchor, guide, absorb shock, and support a specified load. The load includes the weight of the pipe, the content that the pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe, and the pipe covering such as insulation. ![]() A pipe support is a designed element that transfer the load from a pipe to the supporting structures. ![]()
