Pipe Support Span Calculations

Method ( A ) -- Reference book Design Of Piping Systems, pp. 239 - 240 & 356 - 358, by M. W. Kellogg, Second Edition, 1956

Continuous span (few)

Type of support span

Length of support span 25.0 feet L= 25.00 feet

Factor for modifying stress value obtained by the basic formula for S fs = 1.000
