This would be the typical design we would like to go with but the anchor that displaces is capable of 2" radially and/or -/+1" vertical.
There is also a requirement for the loads at the anchor to be extremely small after maximum displacement. This led to the custom design shown with the centre...
StevenHPerry,
Thanks again for your help.
Duwe6,
I like the idea and I do have experience with the components as hangers. I don't know if it is the best idea but it seems like it will work.
CRG,
Supports are very close. There is a guide on the lower end 1-2ft away and there is an anchor...
I understand what you're saying about resilient. I don’t believe I will have the luxury of 2’ or that the elbows will only move 2”.
I’ve attached a quick sketch to explain. The sketch would be a ‘bird’s eye’ view.
If I analyze my existing piping to support the entire weight of the U and the...
Maybe simple question would be:
Is there any reason, by code or otherwise, that I could not support the elbows by a chain (material incompliance with B31.1/MSS SP-58) which allowables are acceptable?
If I was going to get more specific, it is 6" carbon steel, design pressure 80psig, and it is a 'U' with two 90 degree elbows requiring support (also 90 degree elbows at the inlet and outlet).
Can I achieve horizontal displacement (let's say 2" radially, cantilever is 12" above elbow) from a...
Long time user, first time poster.
I have a system designed (and registered) to B31.1.
I've been trying to find a way to create a +y support (or as close to it as possible) from an above cantilever. It would be supporting an elbow between two 90 degree flexible metal hoses (both in the...
