1. Scope

priate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.1 This practice covers acceptable methods of fabricating

and installing rigid pipe hangers used to support shipboard
piping systems with temperatures of 650F (343C) or less.

2. Referenced Documents
2.1 ASTM Standards:2
A307 Specification for Carbon Steel Bolts, Studs, and
Threaded Rod 60 000 PSI Tensile Strength

1.2 This practice provides guidance for the design of hanger

caps, straps and standoffs, selection of hanger and hanger liner
materials, hanger bolting, and hanger spacing.

3. Terminology

1.3 Other hanger designs may be used provided they result

in an adequately supported vibration-free piping system and
are compatible with the intended system service and temperature limitations.

3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 linerthe material used to isolate a pipe from its
hanger.
3.1.2 rider bara protective strip of material installed
between the pipe and the hanger where frequent linear movement of the pipe is expected.
3.1.3 rigid pipe hangera device that transfers the load
imposed by the piping, insulation, and system medium to the
supporting structure.
3.1.4 standoffthe rigid member that connects the hanger
strap, saddle, or band to the supporting structure. A standoff is

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded

as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for

6.1 Hanger materials for straps, saddles, and U-bolts for

Figs. 1-5 hangers and standoffs should be fabricated from
commercial quality carbon steel. The steel should be a weldable grade with a minimum tensile strength of 47 ksi (324
MPa) and capable of being bent at room temperature through
90 to an inside radius equal to the material thickness without
cracking on the outside of the bend.
