Anchor Load

[Galuck]

I have a 12"ID pipe system that is designed with hard pipe loops. Is there a way to calulate the pressure load back to the anchors?

You might check in the Piping and Fluid Mechanics Engineering forum.

Definitely. Piping Stress guys use special softwares for this, to get pipe loads at every support (vertical, guide & anchor, etc)

Its not so hard that you need anything other than a good spreadsheet for the simple standard configurations. Its quite possible that you don't need a canned program.
