So, special support arrangement can be used innovatively to solve design and construction challenges.
Clause 321.1.1 of ASME B 31.3 indicates the layout and design of piping and its supporting elements to prevent possible hazards and imperfections in design. Special support arrangements are adopted invitingly in engineering design to contribute pipe support and solve design troubles that are unique to each construction. A device having double-spring coils which support the gravity loads of piping systems that are subjected to vertical thermal movements. They are appealed diversely to provide piping support, especially in heavy equipment such as pressure vessels, and structural steel members. Sliding supports are used to decrease piping loads on nozzles due to friction, sliding supports could be utilized. Slide plates can be composed using a variety of materials inaccordance with their use including graphite, PTFE, 25% glass filled, stainless steel, and bronzphite.
Slide plates are utilized to produce a low-coefficient of friction between static support components and moving components to reduce the forces/friction that is caused by pipe deflections.
