This document provides guidance on designing pipe hangers and supports. It discusses determining hanger locations based on pipe size and configuration. It describes calculating hanger loads based on the weight of pipe, fittings, valves, and insulation. It also addresses calculating thermal movement of piping at hanger locations. The document provides information on selecting appropriate hangers based on the loads and movements, including spring hangers. It includes sample problems demonstrating how to apply the guidance. An extensive section lists the weights of common piping materials to aid in load calculations. The document is intended as a reference for engineers involved in pipe hanger and support design.
