INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Pipe Supports/Hangers

Pipe supports and hangers are structural components designed to secure, align, and distribute loads in piping networks, ensuring stability and preventing stress-induced failures.

Component Specifications

Definition
Pipe supports and hangers are engineered structural elements used to anchor, guide, and sustain piping systems by transferring mechanical loads (including weight, thermal expansion, pressure, and seismic forces) to building structures or foundations. They maintain proper alignment, prevent sagging, control vibration, and accommodate thermal movement to ensure system integrity, safety, and longevity in industrial applications.
Working Principle
Pipe supports and hangers function by providing fixed, guided, or sliding attachment points that restrain or allow controlled movement of pipes. They distribute static and dynamic loads through structural members to prevent overstress, minimize deflection, and absorb thermal expansion/contraction forces using springs, dampers, or adjustable elements.
Materials
Carbon steel (ASTM A36), stainless steel (AISI 304/316), galvanized steel, aluminum alloys, or composite materials; selected based on corrosion resistance, temperature tolerance, and load capacity requirements.
Technical Parameters
  • Load Capacity 500-50,000 N
  • Adjustment Range ±50 mm
  • Temperature Range -50°C to 800°C
  • Corrosion Resistance C3-C5 per ISO 12944
Standards
ISO 14692, ASME B31.3, DIN 28081

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a pipe support and a hanger?

Pipe supports are typically rigid attachments to floors or walls that bear vertical and lateral loads, while hangers suspend pipes from overhead structures, primarily handling tensile loads and allowing vertical adjustment.

How do pipe supports handle thermal expansion?

They incorporate sliding plates, roller supports, or spring hangers that permit controlled axial or lateral movement, preventing stress buildup from temperature changes.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
