    Pipe Support Span Calculations

    The document discusses spacing requirements for pipe support based on stress and deflection. It provides equations to calculate the maximum bending stress and deflection of a pipe segment based on the pipe's total unit weight, length, section modulus, modulus of elasticity, and moment of inertia. The spacing is determined so that stress does not exceed 2,300 psi and deflection is limited to 0.1 inches, as specified in the ASME B31.1 code. Concentrated loads from valves or branches may require closer support spacing. References include the Design of Piping Systems book and ASME Sec. II D Table TM-1.

    Spacing vs. Stress


    (The spacing is based on a fixed beam support with a bending stress not exceeding 2,300 psi as per table 121.5 of ASME B31.1).
    In most cases an estimate of the stress can be obtained from the equation for beams:
    (U.S. Customary Units)

    1.2WL² SZ ½ (From Fig. C-16, Design of Piping Systems, The M. W. Kellogg Company,
    &=
    Z
    L= ( 1.2W
    ) Published by Stellar Editions, 2016).

    (SI Units)

    981WL² SZ ½
    &=
    Z
    L= ( 981W
    )
    Where:
    S = maximum bending stress, psi (Mpa)
    W = total unit weight, lb/ft (Kg/m)

    L = pipe segment, ft (m)


    Z = section modulus, in³ (mm³)
    For larger concentrated loads, such as those produced by valves, vertical sections, branches, etc., Supports must be
    placed as close as possible.
    The effect of concentrated loads (valves, etc.) not located in the supports must be approximated by multiplying the
    stress by 2P/WL, where “P" is the concentrated load in pounds.

    Spacing vs. Deflection


    (Pipe deflection could be limited to 0.1 in. as per table 121.5 of ASME B31.1)
    The deflection of a section can be approximated by the following formula:
    (U.S. Customary Units)

    17.1WL⁴ &EI ¼ (From Fig. C-17, Design of Piping Systems, The M. W. Kellogg Company,

    98x10⁶WL⁴ &EI ¼

    L= ( 98x10⁶W )
    Where:

    & = Deflection, in. (mm)
