Pipe Support Standard Terminology

This document defines various types of pipe supports used to attach and restrain piping systems, including anchors, clamps, hangers, brackets, guides, saddles, and racks. Anchors are embedded in concrete to prevent pipe rotation. Alloy pipe clamps are made from low-chrome material to resist high temperatures. Band hangers provide vertical adjustment with a formed strap. Beam clamps attach to structural beams without welding. Brace assemblies restrain piping from horizontal forces. Brackets support loads and forces. Cantilevers are fixed at one end. Cold shoes have insulation inserts for cold pipes. Cold springs pre-stress pipes for lower operating reactions. Constant supports permit movement while maintaining support. Dummy supports provide structure without flow

SUPPORT NAME Anchor

DESCRIPTION A rigid device used to prevent essentially all pipe rotation and displacement at the point of application.

Anchor bolt

A bolt which is embedded in concrete and is used to attach to concrete structure.

Alloy pipe clamp

A pipe clamp made from low chrome-moly (less than 5% chrome) material for the purpose of resisting the effects of piping temperature in the 750 F to 1100 F range
o o

(399o C to 593o C)
Band Hanger A pipe attachment providing for vertical adjustment, consisting principally of a formed strap. Beam Clamp A clamping device used to connect the reminder of a pipe hanger assembly to a structural beam, without requiring welding . Brace Assembly An assembly made of pipe support components designed to restrain a piping system from horizontal forces. Bracket Cantilevered member, with or without a kneebrace, designed to withstand a gravity load and/or horizontal forces. Cantilever A structure member supported and fixed at only one end. Cold shoe A pipe shoe with an integral insulation insert which has been

designed for cold temperature piping system application. Cold Spring The act of pre-stressing a piping system during installation in order that the equipment reactions will

be lower in the operating condition. Constant Support Hanger A mechanical and spring coil device which produces a relatively constant supporting effect, while permitting vertical pipe movement. Dummy support Piping supports which are often made from sections of pipe to provide support. The term Dummy indicates that there is no flow in the pipe section. Guide A device used to permit pipe movement in a predetermined direction while restraining movement in other directions. Pipe Clamp A bolted pipe attachment which clamp around the pipe to connect the pipe to the remainder of a pipe hanger assembly. Pipe Clip A pipe attachment used to hold the pipe directly to a structure, also referred to as a strap or pipe strap Pipe Hanger A device which is suspended from a structure and used to carry the piping load in tension. Pipe rack A structure frame that is

used to support piping systems. Pipe Saddle Supports A stanchion utilizing a curved section for cradling the pipe.
