* Panel heating copper fittings should be soldered with 95-5 solder. Steel fittings should be welded. b All underground feed and return lines buried in slab, should be equipped with fittings as outlined for panel heating; e Refrigerant fittings on copper pipe insist be wrought copper. All welded fittings should be long turn, d House sewer to main should be cast non XH.
There is also the bending moment that may be. caused by the flexure of the pipe. For this chapter however, the flexure loading will not be treated for the reason of complexity, as previously stated for the problem of ex pansion.
Since hangers should always be designed to take the bending moment (including buckling) from the pipe, it is necessary to design the hangers or supports for the maximum bending stress. Even with perfect support spacing there will be some sagging; therefore, the supports should be on a gradient if it is necessary to prevent pockets. Such a condition arises for condensate piping.
Typical bending and deflection equations are given in Table 21 in order that supports can be properly sized, and if necessary, pitched. These equations are typical beam equations.. If more complex loadings exist, proper beam equations can be applied. Such equations are found in standard texts on mechanics of materials.
By application of the equations given in this section and the section on Expansion and Flexibility, it is possible to determine the proper location and type of support for straight lines. The types are anchors and hangers.
Anchors are used to guide the expansion (sliding anchors) or to fix the pipe. They are needed to take the stress out of the line and translate the stresses to the foundations. In that way all stress can be taken out of the line before it can be transferred to such equipment as boilers or pumps. By means of solid anchors, the anchors can be used to divide the piping into isolated sections that cannot transmit the stresses to other sections.
Hangers are used to support the piping and to take out the bending stresses. They are of the spring, roller, or rod type. Such types gen erally allow the free movement of the pipe and yet maintain full support.
The Code for Pressure Piping, ASA. B31.1, has strict requirements for the materials used in hangers and supports. The structural properties have a safety factor of five, and consequently there is little chance of failure due to a sudden change of load.
There is a type of support for almost every conceivable requirement. Complete information can best be obtained from a hanger manufacturer.
