Installing seismic supports for piping systems requires a grasp of key technical points; a haphazard approach will not yield satisfactory results. The essential aspects to consider include the following:
Key Point 1: During the installation of seismic supports, construction drawings for banks of pipes must be optimized. This optimization process requires accounting for the number of pipes, their elevations, routing, and orientation, while ensuring adequate clearance for operation and maintenance to avoid complications during installation or future servicing.
Key Point 2: Installation planning must take into account the actual outer diameters of the pipes and the thickness of any required thermal insulation. Accurately determining the appropriate pipe clamp type and load-bearing capacity depends on understanding these factors. In particular, stress calculations for pressure piping must be verified when necessary to ensure the correct selection of profile specifications and models.
Key Point 3: When installing seismic supports for piping systems, prioritize the layout and installation of the supports before mounting the pipes themselves. To execute this correctly, determine the installation locations and spacing of the supports by marking lines based on the routing and scope of the pipe runs. Additionally, establish the installation sequence for pipes serving different functions based on the tiered layout of the integrated piping system; ideally, installation should proceed from top to bottom and from the inner side to the outer side.
