Pipe Sleeper on Sloping Line
Pipe Sleeper on Sloping Line
(OP)
Is it advisable to provide pipe sleepers on sloping lines? I have a 12" header rolling 9 degree vertically and a sleeper is shown in the drawing. Wondering if it is a good engineering practice.
Any suggestions?

RE: Pipe Sleeper on Sloping Line
- What is the Schedule (wall thickness) of the pipe?
- What is the length of the flat part(s) of the line?
- What is the spacing between all supports under flat part of the line?
- What is the length of the sloping part of the line?
- What will the spacing be between the supports under the sloping part of the line?
Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results
