Supporting of Pipe
Supporting of Pipe
(OP)
Dear All,
I need to run a 1" Galvanized air pipe in a ware house of height 9 mtr. The pipe will be running at a height of 4 mtr from the ground. My question is regarding the supporting of this pipe. Can I use a threaded rod for a length of 5 mtr to support this pipe from the ceiling? If not please suggest any alternate suggestions.
Thanks in advance

And, why can’t this 1" pipe line be hung off the underside of the roof structure, much nearer some solid structure, at about 9m? I would be concerned about vibration and about it swinging in the wind (any lateral loads) also. Alternatively, you might come up with some fairly light angle iron framework, a std. detail, a two legged “A-Frame shape” or even a three legged hanger which offered some stiffness along the length of the pipe also, much stiffer than a 5m long rod, for all of the hangers.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have any other points to support the pipe. The only option is to use the purlin in the roof. I have come across Gripple support system which uses cables to support the pipe. U can find more info at www.gripple.com. But not sure how effective it would be....
