pump station pipe supports 1

[cbski]

I'm looking for a rule of thumb for spacing pipe supports for inside a pump station. This seems to be a structural question instead of a hydraulic question.

What size pipe? Spacing of pipe supports usually depends on the size of the pipe.

Thanks SlideRuleNet, that's what I was looking for.

BTW, Bagman2524 we are using 8" ductile iron.
