elevated pipe support

elevated pipe support

(OP)
Hey there - I need to provide a detail for supporting 4 steel pipes laying side by side. The support will be 7' high and outside. I am not familiar with pipe support products beyond stanchion saddle-type supports.  The client has provided a sketch of what they envision - a single steel pipe column supporing a platform at the top. What is typically used for the platform supporting the pipes?
Thanks

(this was submitted on the mechanical site as well so you may see it twice)

RE: elevated pipe support

These are typically called "pipe racks".  And I believe there are some codes for them.  Search these forms - I have seen it discussed a few times.

RE: elevated pipe support

Any wide flange shape that meets the deflection and stress requirements, (50 psf minimum for supported area, span times the width of support beam).
