Dear All:

Please direct me to popular references for "Pipe Rack Analysis/Design". I will soon be involved in designing a pipe rack for a steam pipe and want to get to know the things I should be wary off apart from the obvious.

Thanks

RE: Reference for "Pipe Rack" analysis/design

For High wind areas use "Wind loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities" from the ASCE. It explains the wind load distributions for pipe rack and platforms.

RE: Reference for "Pipe Rack" analysis/design

well most large engineering firms (fluor, jacobs, kbr, etc.,) has guidelines for piperack design.. try to get a copy of this from your co-worker..

RE: Reference for "Pipe Rack" analysis/design

Nothing really abnormal in the design, I do agree with Elindio about "Wind Loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities", great referance, and fairly inexpensive ($30 US)

The size and configuration of your rack will be determined by the size/elevation of your steam line, also give thought to whether or not anyone will want to use this rack for running pipes in the future.
