RE: Distance of Pipe support for Chilled Water Piping

Piping support spacing is dependant on the diameter of the pipe you are using and the materials of construction.  Larger diameters can handle larger spacing in between supports. What diameter are you using?

RE: Distance of Pipe support for Chilled Water Piping

ASME B31.1 Power Piping has a table that sets out support spans.

Thank You!

RE: Distance of Pipe support for Chilled Water Piping

I know the question has been answered already but for information table 121.5 of ASME31.1-2001 gives the following suggested span for pipes in water service for pipes of standard thickness or heavier with operating temperatures up to 400C

NPS inches     span in metres
1                 2.1
2                 3.0
3                 3.7
4                 4.3
6                 5.2
8                 5.8
12                7.0
16                8.2
