The calculated support reaction is the hot load to be carried by the hanger.Then the maximum displacement is calculated from thermal movement. Knowing the displacement and Hot load refer to the Spring hanger manufacture literature to interpolate the theoretical cold load on the spring. Enter the Cold load and spring rate into AutoPIPE undesigned spring hanger, and run analysis. GrT1P1 = analyzed Cold load on the spring hanger GrT2P2 = analyzed Hot load on the spring hanger Example: somctoaee [ETIEREST=] or Presse Cr Temperstute: ae ‘Hot modulus: Py [aso visk (Sy. y PON Sth seers x Raid hanger citron Tom ‘Specity Load Variation to use for all springs Load variation (ratio): spbghewimetecwe: [ind =] Design operating cases: (20 may) Select cases Tio ‘Select/Unselect all cases m1 12 cr r rc rc rc rc rc Cr cr rc cr r rc rc rc rc rc rc eee emeerentee eee Gap Fiction So Show hanger report Point Thermal Hot Cold Spring _ioed _—_Pemmissible Spring Benge ‘rovel Sine’ ovonant Easd peolsad Bete” yarintion zona pariation flse Tea) Fo (ses) (Bf) (IE) (b/in) Gesceat) (Bescon)(Force = Ibf Momont ~ ft-Ib , Tran. = in, Rote = dog) Point/ Connect/ Lead LOCAL gnosan supp. 22 Type Combination Force deform ira Force Defom ‘tag No.1 Bol whemal 1(2) com 000 x 2.000 Bolt Spe.

The Spring Rate and interpolated cold load are using in AutoPIPE’s analysis to calculate the actual analyzed cold operating condition (GrT1P1) and hot operating condition (GrT2P2). Notice that the hot load is lighter than the cold cold, this is because in this example, thermal case T2 caused the spring hanger location to rise up, putting less of a load on the spring hanger.
