MDS Hanger Data Form : Standard Tab : Hanger Template Configuration
Hanger Template Configuration
Each hanger template configuration has its own specific design characteristics, based on the following considerations:
•
Is it a single or double configuration?
•
Should the hanger be connected to a vertical or to a horizontal pipe?
•
Should the pipe be insulated?
•
Should the steelwork connection be a double-channel connection? What type of beams can be used for the steelwork connection?
•
If it is a variable spring hanger, where is the spring located? Is it below the pipe? Is it located above the pipe but below the steelwork? Is it located on top of the steelwork?
•
Is the hanger connected to the pipe using a pipe clamp or to a welded lug?
The hanger template configuration is defined as a combination of three basic components, the top (T), middle (M) and bottom (B) component. For example, a T1 M2 B5 hanger means that the hanger has a T1 type top connection, M2 type middle connection and a B5 type pipe connection. These three basic components can be viewed on the plotfiles shown on the right of the form.
Based on this combination and on other attributes of the hanger templates and of the catalogue components, the MDS application can determine how to incorporate the hanger template into the design.
Use the drop-down lists to select the T, M and B components that represent the selected hanger configuration, then click Apply.
