Pipe Hangers and Supports
The piping system in an industrial facility or refinery can represent up to half of the design man-hours and a third of the total cost of a facility. Despite looking quite robust and often being constructed of steel, all piping needs to be properly supported and anchored. Without support, piping would sag and leak at its joints and place excessive stress on connected equipment. In this online, interactive course, you will learn how pipe supports and hangers carry weight, limit pipe movements, and manage both the stress in the pipes and loads on connected equipment.
