Thanks for replying. I am aware there are companies that do site inspections. I'm more after standards, procedures etc that I could use and gain knowledge from.
What I have found, is that there is not a lot of information around and appears that the actual pipe support fabricators have their...
Hi, in regards to pipe supports, in particular Variable and Constant Spring supports, are there any inspection standards, like NACE has for steelwork and pipe?
A example, a 20 year old Constant Spring support that is still operating as designed, however there is a high level of corrosion around...
Thank you for replying. I only asked for clarification, because Prex said above "No, you can't" and then you said Prex was correct. Hence the request for clarification.
I'm not convinced that VIII-2 is for pipe supports, because a pipe support is not a pressure vessel, it doesn't have a "shell...
Thanks all for the replies.
Just to clarify. Are you guys saying that ASME VIII is not reconmended to be used for pipe supports? and only pressure vessels? I ask this because I can't find any reference to pipe supports in the code.
Also, MSS SP58 is the only code that I know of, for the design...
Hi,
Just wondering if there is a standard out there that specifically relates FEA and pipe support design.
MSS SP58 appears to be the only recognised pipe support design standard but has no mention of FEA. I believe this standard is based on manually calculations and therefore the allowable...
Hi,
Just wondering if you can use ASME VIII Div 2, which is a Pressure Vessel code to design pipe supports. Basically use the FEA comments in the code and apply this to a design of pipe supports.
Thanks.
Hello all, Just joined and need some help from the experts on here!
I'm new to Solidworks Simulation and I want to verify the loading (X, Y and Z) on a Pipe Shoe (pipe suport).
The pipe is being supplied by another company so I dont need to verify the pipe can withstand the loading. Also I...
