From my understanding, internal pressure produces no forces on pipe supports.
This is because internal pressure is fully balanced by the tensions in the pipe (hoop stress).
If I want to consider an effect, can I do it by assuming a forced displacement on the clamp stem due to radial expansion...
Dears,
I have recently posted similar requests on the following forums:

Since apparently CAESAR II doesn't support ASME NM codes, how can I use it to perform Pipe Stress Analysis on PVDF piping...
Dear all,
In chapter VII of ASME B31.3 it is clearly written that methods of stress analysis [highlight #FCE94F]are less well defined for nonmetals compared to metals, because stress-strain behaviour of most nonmetals is different[/highlight].
I need to perform Pipe Stress Analysis for PVDF...
Dear all,
I will soon have to start learning Pipe Stress Analysis in order to be able to perform such calculations for my company. We are water treatment plant producers and we work mainly with thermoplastic materials (PVDF, PP).
The preliminary step for me is to have an overview of which are...
