Pressfit Pipes Supporting

Overview

Engineering reference data for Pressfit Pipes Supporting in piping systems.

Key Formulas

Continuity

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

Mass conservation in pipe flow.

Pressure Drop

$\Delta P = f \frac{L}{D} \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$

Darcy-Weisbach equation.

Pipe Area

$A = \frac{\pi D^2}{4}$

Cross-sectional area of a pipe.

Variables

Symbol	Description	Unit
$D$	Pipe diameter	m
$v$	Flow velocity	m/s
$\Delta P$	Pressure drop	Pa
$f$	Friction factor	—

Support Spacing Data

The following table provides maximum recommended support spacing for pressfit pipes according to ASME standards for both water service and gas/air service applications.

Note: The spacing values are given in feet (ft). For reference, 1 ft = 0.3048 m.
