SS Pipe to SS Support Steel
SS Pipe to SS Support Steel
(OP)
Hi All,
I just wanted to solicit views from the group regarding the supporting of SS Pipe directly onto SS supporting steelwork. Pipework is subject to temperature variation (low) and seismic loads. Any concerns by anyone?

Low temperatures should not be a problem but you may get a problem with high temperatures if there is direct contact and the SS support is a low grade material.

Galling is a phenomena associated with the rubbing motion of two metals with nearly the same hardness. In my experience, it has always been found in SS bolting/fastening applications.
Commonly, galling is a concern only with threaded joints.
Unless your piping is going to constantly move horizontally relative to the supporting member, I do not see this as a problem.

The pipework is subject to thermal movement (relatively small magnitude) but 3-4 cycles per day. Any comments?
