scope:

This document specifies the requirements for design including shape and dimensions, material as well as strength for pipe support from NPS 2 up to NPS 36 except for U-bolt and U-strap. This document covers topside systems for fixed or floating offshore oil and gas projects. This document applies for design temperature of support within the range between -23 °C up to 200 °C. This document is limited to metallic pipes only. This document covers such requirements for following pipe supports: - clamped shoe; - welded shoe; - U-bolt; - U-strap; - bracing for branch connection; - trunnion and stanchion; - guide support(guide, hold-down, guide/hold-down). This document addresses design requirements of the listed items above, hence the document does not necessarily cover all other types of pipe supports.
