S lns(alIaLon of above ground pipes
5.1 General
The designer of an above ground pipe installation should be aware of the forces that act on the pipe system, particularly where high system pressures exist.
When a component in a pressurized pipeline has a change in cross-sectional area oi’ alignment direction, a resultant force is Induced. All components such as bends, reducers, tees. wyes or valves shall be anchored or restrained to withstand these loads. This Is the case for above ground as well as boned pipes.
In buried pipeline’s, adequate resistance to movements at joints in undeflected installations is generally provided by the pipe embedment. Such resistance shall be provided at the supports of an above ground

pipeline. Care shall be exercised to minimize misahgnments and all components shall be properly supported to ensure the stability of the pipeline.
5.2 SupportIng of pipes
5.2.1 General
A range of joint designs are manufactured foe which a variety of support configurations are recommended. Generally, pipes are supported on either side or the loins, but some systems allow direct support under the joint.
To minimize the loads induced in pipes and supports, the supports should not restrain longitudinal expansion of the pipes. However, it is essential that the pipe movements be guided and controlled In such a way that all pipe sections are stbIe and that acceptable longitudinal movement of the pipe in the couplings is not excerdcd
As non-restrained couplings are Ilexible, it Is very important for the stability of every pipe component to be ensured by the supports. Each pipe should therefore be supported by at least two cradks and anchored by a pipe anchor at one of these cradles, while the remaining cradles should be designed as guides. allowing longitudinal expansion or the pipe but restraining lateral movements. With direct support under the joints, the coupling clamp can act as anchor see Figure 6 (1) and Figure B.
For pipes supporied in more than Two cradles, the cradle ckrsei to th middle of the pipe should he used as an anchor
The anchors should be located with regular spacing to ensure even dltribuLion of longitudinal pipe expansion on the joints. However, the maximum distance between two anchors sh.ill not result In exceeding the draw limits specified for the joint given in ISO 23856.
