4.LoadDefinitions
4.1. Uniform Loads
All future and empty surfaces in the pipe rack (surface occupied by pipes with line size less than 20) are considered as having water filled piping of a diameter equal to the average of the system. The following table (table 1) and formula will be used for vertical load on the pipe rack (KN/m2) as a function of the average size . Maximum amount of load calculated due to formula and table should be considered. Table 1 Average of Piping 2 or less 1 3 1.5 4 2 6 2.5 8 3 10 3.5 12 4

10. Steel Structure Loading

10.1. Vertical Run
For vertical runs this step should be considered: - Vertical loads must be considered for all beams during vertical runs. - Vertical loads must be considered equal to the weight of vertical run and half of horizontal line till to nozzle or next weight support. Just for example fig.4 is useful. In this figure vertical loads should be applied to all supportable beams. -Guide loads must be considered for suitable beams with respect to safe vertical guide span. -Guide loads must be considered equal to 0.5 vertical loads.
