pipe supporting

(OP)
Dear sirs,

Could you mind introduce some websites that show erected pipe support in field? I have read some books about pipe support but I want to see pictures of various type supports which installed.
also I have a question:
What kind of pipe support do you prefer for 1" SS and Hot insulated pipe?

RE: pipe supporting

Have you not used google images?

1" SS should probably be insulated to prevent any galvanic corrosion effect and hot pipe normally needs flexible supports / shoes to guide the movement of the pipe

RE: pipe supporting

Brad,
As Littleinch suggested try here:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22pipe+support+im...

Since you appear to be a novice and may fully understand what you will be looking at in each of the images.
1. Click on the image, open them up and read about them
2. If you still do not fully understand, copy the link paste it to a response here and someone will look at it and offer some information.

prognosis: Lead or Lag

RE: pipe supporting

BradSmith,
With the information provided the only answer to your question is to use adequate pipe supports for the duty of the piping systems. No other answer can be given with the information provided.

LittleInch,
You would never use flexible supports (unless spring type supports for vertical displacements) for a hot pipe. The pipe still needs to be provided with adequate support such that support displacements (and pipe) are controlled. "Flexible Supports" presents the image of flimsy structural steelwork!!!!

RE: pipe supporting

Sorry, terminology got to me - I meant non fixed supports ( clamps, anchors, that sort of thing) - sliding is probably a better word than flexible.
