Calculation of Pipe Support Mercury Removal Inlet Filter Coalescer 180kg CAPACITY, 1.533 M LENGTH

The document summarizes the calculation of pipe supports for a mercury removal inlet filter coalescer system. It includes general data on the total weight and number of pipes. Material properties and dimensions are provided for a 3" nominal bore schedule 10 stainless steel pipe. Stress calculations are performed to check that the compressive and bending stresses induced by the total weight are below the allowable values based on the material properties. The calculations indicate the stresses are within acceptable limits.
