SP-69 A Standard Practice is intended as a basis for common practice by the manufacturer, the user, and the ‘general public. The existence of an MSS Standard Practice does not in itself preclude the manufacturer, sale, or use of products|not conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory conformance is established only by reference in a code, specification, sales contract, or public law, as applicable. FOREWORD ‘This standard was developed by a cooperative effort of representatives of the pipe hanger manufacturers. Tis based on the best practice current at this time and on the collective experience of the industry. There are two companion standards, MSS SP-58 and MSS SP-89, relating to hanger materials, design, ‘manufacture, fabrication and installation. In addition, the MSS Hanger Committee has developed guidelines for pipe supports contractural relationships and on hanger terminology as covered in MSS SP-77 and MSS-90 respectively. U.S. customary units in this SP are the standard; the metric units are for reference only. This document has been substantively revised from the previous 1991 edition, It is suggested that if the user is interested in knowing what changes have been made, that direct page by page comparison should be made of this document, Other standards documents referred to herein are identified by the date of issue that was applicable to this standard at the date of issue of this standard. See Annex A. This standard shall remain silent on the applicability of those other standards of prior or subsequent dates of issue even though provisions of concern may not have changed. Any part of this standard may be quoted.

The selection of pipe hangers and supports shall be based upon the overall design concept of the Piping systems and any special requirements which may be called for in the specifications, The support- ing systems shall provide for, and control, the free or intended movement of the piping including its move- ‘ment in relation to that of connected equipment, 43 A careful study shall be made of the piping lay- ut in relation to the surrounding structure and adja- cent piping and equipment before selecting the type of support to be used at each hanger point. 44 Hangers, supports, anchors and restraints shall be selected to withstand all static and specified dynamic conditions of loading to which the piping and associated equipment may be subjectedMSS SP-b9 9b MM S?770b40 OSO0806 763 mm Mss STANDARD PRACTICE SP-69 4.5 When pipe hanger load and movement calcula- tions are required by the design specification, the following must be considered: a) Deadweight Loads b) Hydrostatic Loads ©) Thermal Loads 4) Loading Due to Expansion Joint Reaction Forces 4.6 When occasional pipe hanger load calculations are required, they must be clearly defined in the design specification. Types of occasional loads are: a) Safety Valve Thrust Loads b). Seismic Loads 9) Wind, Snow or Iee Loads d) Turbine Trip-out Loads e) Water Hammer Loads 47 Allowable stress levels listed in MSS SP-58 shall be used in the design of hanger assemblies with the following exce a) The load capacities for threaded hanger rods shall conform to Table 3 of MSS SP-S8 b) A 20% increase in allowable stress may be permitted for short time overloading conditions uring operation. ©) For steels of known physical properties, an increase 10 80% of minimum yield strength, at room temperature, during hydrostatic testing, is permissible. For steels of unknown physical pro- pperties, an increase to 80% of yield strength, as determined by physical tet, is permissible, provided that the maximum allowable stress does not exceed 16,000 PSI (I10MPa). 4) Loading combination considerations and allow- able stress levels to be applied shall be established by the architect-engineer. 48 Hanger and support components shall be selected from Table 1 within the system classification, 49° Where additional structural framing members are required, they shall be designed for the specific loads they are to support in accordance with the AISC Specification for the Design, Fabrication and Erection ‘of Structural Steel for Buildings. No increase in allowable stress is permitted for hydrostatic test periods. 4.10 Hangers for the suspension of size 2% and larger pipe and tubing shall be capable of vertical hanger component adjustment under load. 4.11 Building structure shall be adequate for sup- porting pipe hanger loads as generated in 4.5 and 46, including hydrostatic test loads. 4.12. Installed hangers or hanger components shall be used only for their purpose, They shall not be used for rigging and erection purposes. MATERIAL REQUIREMENT! 5.1 The materials of all pipe hanging and support- ing elements shall be in accordance with MSS SP-S8. 5.2 The material in contact with the pipe shall be ‘compatible with the piping material so that neither shall have a deteriorating action on the other. 5.3. Materials subject to corrosion or electrolysis shall be protected as specified by the engineering design and such protection shall be applied in accord- ance with the requirements of MSS SP-58. DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS 6.1 Hangers and supports shall be sized to fit the outside diameter of pipe, tubing, or, if specified, the outside diameter of insulation, Manufacturers’ catalog hangers provide a nominal clearance over standard tolerance piping and tubing. Consideration for fit should be given by the user for large diameter and/or ut of tolerance piping and tubing, 6.2. Dimensional tolerances shall be in accordance with Section 4 of MSS SP-89. SELECTION OF HANGERS AND SUPPORTS FOR PIPE MOVEMENT 7.1 The selection of hangers and supports shall be made to provide the piping system with the degree of contol that its operating characteristics require. 7.2. Where negligible movement of pipe occurs at hanger locations, and no harmful loading on connect- ing equipment, piping, or structure would result, rod hangers may be used for suspended lines. For piping supported from below, bases, brackets or structural cross members may be used.MSS SP-b4 96 MM 5770640 0500807 bTT mm MSS: STANDARD PRACTICE SP49 TABLE 1.

Where there is horizontal movement at a suspended type hanger location, hanger components shall be selected to allow for swing. Where horizontal piping displacement exceeds 1 inch, it is common practice to offset the pipe attachment or structural attachment by the amount of anticipated displacement ‘or a percentage thereof. If the vertical angle of the hanger rod is greater than 4 degrees, a traveling device should be provided for horizontal movement. In special cases, vertical angles greater than 4 degrees ‘may be used provided the resulting horizontal force and vertical deflection are considered in the piping and support design. For piping supported from below, slides, rollers, or roller carriages should be used. 7.4 Where significant vertical movement of the pipe occurs at the hanger location, a resilient support must be used. Selection of resilient supports shall be based on permissible load variation and effects on adjacent equipment. Support selection for typical load varia~ tions are shown in Table 2. Load and movement calculations shall be made for the proper selection of spring hangers, Vertical movement and load transfer from riser expansion to horizontal runs shall be given, consideration when applying spring hangers.

Welding or bolting or attachments to the build- ing structural steel shall be in accordance with the AISC Specification for the Design, Fabrication and Erection of Structural Steel for Buildings. There shall be no drilling, punching or burning of holes in the building structural steel without prior approval by the design engincers. 8.3.
