384 PRESSURE & DESIGN DATA Pipe Support
Pipe Hanger Positioning
Pipe hanger positioning is important to prevent pipe “sagging” due to the flexible nature of the piping system. Proper positioning of hangers near the elbow, for example, should be considered.
The use of spring hangers or other methods can be employed to accom- modate vibrations. Base supports, pressure thrust anchors and pipe offsets can be used to direct pipe movement.
The use of rigid couplings may be used to reduce the movement available with flexible couplings. Consideration to other methods to accommodate pipe movements may be required.
