Design considerations for pipe supports and the influence ...

A pipe support or pipe hanger is a component that transfers the load from a pipe to the supporting structures. The load includes the weight of the pipe itself, the content that the pipe carries, the pipe fittings fixed to the pipe, the insulation system, and finally, for external applications, possible snow and ice loads. The main functions of a pipe support are to anchor, guide, absorb shock, and support a specified load.

Pipe supports are typically made from a rigid material, such as wood or high-density insulation materials with protective shields. They are used in high and low temperature applications with load and operating conditions as their main design considerations. The compressive strength of the support resting on the shield must uniformly support the pipe insulation (i.e, no point loading), and it must not damage the insulation and keep coatings or vapor-retardant jacketing intact. The ideal pipe insulation support prevents direct transfer of moisture or heat from the shield to the actual pipe.
