Pipe Support Quiz

A pipe support is a device that carries or supports the weight of a pipe and the fluid in the pipe over a specified length.

A pipe support serves to guide, anchor, absorb or support a given load in order to maintain the integrity of the pipe work.

A rigid pipe support is specifically suited to limit the movement of a pipe line in all directions.

A rigid pipe support is specifically suited to limit the movement of a pipe line in at least one direction.

A rigid pipe support is specifically suited to limit the movement of a pipe line in at least two directions.

A rigid pipe support is not suited to limit the movement of a pipe line.

True

False

A dummy support consists of a tubular part, welded to the pipe, and not to the structure.

A vertical pipe line is usually supported by two dummy supports resting on the structure.

A vertical pipe line is always supported by one trunnion support resting on the structure.

A dummy support is always welded to the structure.

These pipe supports can work as either primary or secondary supports, providing variable resistance to movement based on compression and other variables.

They are used to balance the concentrated gravitational load of pipe sections while allowing for thermal movement.

Constant spring supports typically have the same designs and options as dynamically loaded supports.

The supports are configured to maintain a static level of resistance rather than adjusting resistance based on load and

other variables

Both of them above

Variables use coiled springs to support a load and allow movement

They are used to balance the concentrated gravitational load of pipe sections while allowing for thermal movement

The resistance of the coil to a load changes during compression like dynamic supports, which is why these devices are called VARIABLES
