Pipe Support Systems in Piping Engineering

Piping is supported either from above by the use of hangers or from below by resting supports. When routing piping indoors, run the piping close to structural steel in order to attach the pipe support steel to it.
When piping is run outdoors in groups, as in the case of a refinery, or chemical plant, it is usually supported on a piperack. If run individually there are a number of standard support designs that are in common use.
