RE: Guides on piping
Guides are useful for controlling (managing) the movements of piping as they expand and contract. Guides are used to keep piping from disengaging from supports or falling off support structures. Guides, line-stops, anchors and other devices are used to direct piping thrusts away from strain sensitive equipment (turbines, pumps, compressors, expanders, vessels, etc.). Guides are used to control the movement of piping under high wind condition or under seismic loadings.
As far as Standards, other than EJMA I know of none except those developed by specific companies as "in-house" documents.
Regards, John.
RE: Guides on piping
We have a line tie-in to the header right next to he expansion loop. I cannot add a guide near this expansion loop because it will cause high stress on the branch line. Is this case, can I just add the guide on one side of the expansion loop?

Do you have a anchor in between loops?
