Pipe support is one of the important and an integral part in the piping system which have the main job to control the weight effect of the piping system and make sure that the piping system will be properly supported for the entire its operation at any condition in order to avoid a mechanical failure of the metal due to excessive stress in pipe supporting elements.

Pipe Support can be categorized into two main groups, namely: 1) Standard Pipe Support, and 2) Special Pipe Support.

So, what is Standard Pipe Support? Standard pipe support is basically the type of pipe support which has been standardized for specific used based on the pipe sizes, acting vertical and horizontal load, and therefore can be used at several pipe support locations. On the other hand, Special Pipe Support is the type of pipe support which need to be designed for specific loads and for specific pipe support location.

In this course we will be learning about the type of standard pipe support normally used for Oil and Gas Application and will also be showing some of example for specific project. Before that, we will discuss about the codes and standards available for the pipe support, the terminology, the functions and the allowable span calculation.
