Pipeline ha.e to be supported by e6ternal meansat regular inter.als to pre.ent them from saggingdue to their intrinsic self eight & the eight ofthe 'uids inside the pipe-

8ormally pipe are placed are on pipe rac" orsupported either from the bottom or hung fromthe supporting structure depending on layout &a.ailable of supporting location & feasible-

Pipe lines are not supported at regular inter.alsill lead to sagging$ causing stress at elded

9oints$ 'anges etc$ hich may end in lea"s &ultimately lead to failure or rupture in the line-

Rigid Hangers & Pipe ClampRigid Hangers and supports are normally used at suspension

point here No Vertical Pipe Movement

5ypically a rigid hanger ill consist of a tie rod assembly ith apipe clamp-

0 pipe shoe or pipe base is also a rigid supports as it supports thepipe line from beneath & normally rest or elded to structure

Variable Eort Supports Variable eort supports also "non as .ariable hangers or .ariables are

used to supports pipe lines sub9ected to moderate .ertical thermalmo.ement

Rigid StrutRigid Strut supports are normally used at suspension point

here No Vertical Pipe Movement-

It is similar function of Rigid Hanger supports- !ierencebeteen rigid hanger & rigid strut is tube used instead of tierod-

a6imum applied load is more than of Rigid Hanger supports-

Rigid Strut$ generally recommended for hereas compressionload re*uired-

!ynamic Clamps5here are three types of clampsF >1@;$ >1@< & >1@1 sti clamps-

>1@; pipe clamp$ constructed of Single plate sti clamp ithsheathed GAbolt-

>1@< pipe clamp$ constructed of !ouble plate sti clamp ithsingle sheathed GAbolt-

>1@1 pipe clamp$ it is a similar type of PC; pipe clamp-

0ll three types of clamps use close tolerance and operate ithin10degree cone of load application-
