Pipe rack analysis
Pipe rack analysis
(OP)
I am currently analyzing an existing pipe rack in a chemical plant located on the gulf cost. The pipe rack has within it several steam lines of various sizes, along with other chemical process piping. My question is what weight should I use for the steam lines? Should it be the weight of the pipe only, or the pipe weight plus some factor for any water that might have collected in the line?

In a final design you will have the neessary stress info to transfer anchor forces through a bracing system to the anchor bay and then it won't matter what is in the pipes.
