Trunnion calculations according to EN-13480-3 2

[Christian_S]

Hello

A department of the company I'm working in wants to develop a pipe support standard for the EN-13480-3 standard. The question was asked how to calculate trunnion supports according to this. I can't find anything specific about this. Does anyone have any experience with this and could possibly provide some guiding on what to do?
Previously I've used Kellog's method for these calculations, but unsure if applicable for EN standard.

You are expected to look EN 13480-3 ( 2012 or latest version ) section 11 and 13..

You may also perform hand calculations according to the ‘Kellogg Line Load’ method..

Make it do, or do without.

Thank you, I guess you're referring to chapter 11.4 for circular hollow welded attachments. I guess I was too fixed on finding the keyword 'Trunnion'.
It seems to me that this gives a way to check if your ratios are within the allowables. Would you get the acting loads from Kellogg's then and put them into equations in 11.4.4?

You can't find anything about this ?..... and you have tried, soooooo hard !! ... Right ?

TRUNNION design has been repeatedly discussed on these (and other) fora .... Let me introduce GOOGLE to you ...

My question was regarding trunnions and the EN-13480-3 standard, and if there are some guiding documents on calculations for someone getting started in that area (someone like myself) could use. And believe it or not, that isn't something that will pop up immediately when searching the forum for trunnion design. If you have something, then please feel free to share.
