Exhaust pipe support
Exhaust pipe support
(OP)
Can pipe support shoe, which is welded to the exhaust pipe, sit directly on the structural framing without thermal insulation between the two surface? The exhaust gas is approximately 600 deg.C. Can the heat transfer significant enough to heat up the structural support and post a safety issue to workers?

The standard does not discuss heat transfer between the pipe and the support. My opinion is that either one should assume (for the condition of direct pipe to steel contact) that all the heat is transfered to the support and comply with SP-58, or have an analysis that proves that only a specified amount of heat is transfered.
