Advanced Thermal Systems, Inc.www.AdvancedThermal.netGeneral Guidelines for Guiding & Supporting Pipe1. The Primary and Intermediate Guide Spacings shown are forstandard weight pipe and are satisfactory for above ground ortunnel installation. They are applicable to the following:A. Single Expansion Joints with an integral anchor or SingleExpansion Joints installed immediately adjacent to a lineanchor.B. Double Expansion Joints.2. When a single expansion joint without base is installed in thecenter (or approximate center) of a pipe run, the primary guidespacing should be modified as follows:A. Sizes 1-1/2” to 4” inclusive: Six (6) pipe diameters from eachend of the expansion joint.B. Sizes 5” to 24” inclusive: Three (3) pipe diameters from eachend of the expansion joint. To preclude the possibility of cockingthe slip of, heavier expansion joints, (sizes 6” and larger), asliding support under the expansion joint body is recommended.3. For buried conduit systems with expansion joints installed inmanholes or vaults, a guide should be installed at the terminationof the conduit pipe at the manhole wall (e.g.,gland or link seal). Inaddition, consideration should be given to providing a “Moment”guide within 10 feet of the manhole wall (not to be integrallyattached to the manhole wall). LOW FRICTION NON-METALLIC“BRONZALON ” GUIDE INSERTS SHOULD BE SPECIFIED FOR THEEXPANSION JOINT.4. GUIDE/SUPPORT SELECTION:PRIMARY GUIDES: The preferred designs are those that guide thepipe radially such as the ATS Models “GA”. For low profile systemsthe ATS Low Friction Figure 100, 101, and 101 M Series GraphiteGuides can be used, (consult factory for applications).INTERMEDIATE GUIDES: The ATS Low Friction Figure 100,101and 101 M Graphite Guides are recommended to reduce frictionforces and eliminate corrosion of the sliding components.INTERMEDIATE SUPPORTS: The ATS Low Friction Figure 200,201 and 201 M Graphite Supports are recommended to reducefriction forces and eliminate corrosion of the sliding components.5. The pipe guiding and support spacing shown in Table 1 is thesuggested maximum span as specified by the ASME/ANSI PowerPiping Code B31.1, and is applicable for horizontal straight runsof pipe without concentrated loads such as valves or heavy fittingsbetween supports. The span distance applies to standard weight orheavier pipe operating at a maximum temperature of750 F (400 C).6. LATERAL FORCES ON GUIDES:Pipe Alignment Guides and their support structure may besubjected to lateral forces in addition to the frictional forces alongthe longitudinal axis of the pipe. It is recommended that alignmentguides be designed to resist a lateral force equal to 250 lb./inch ofnominal pipe size.27. THERMALLY INDUCED CHANGES OF PIPELINES:Pipelines will always change in length as the temperature of thepipeline changes. This change must be accommodated by somemethod, either by natural flexibility of the pipeline or by use of anexpansion device. Advanced Thermal Systems “TP2” Thermal PakExpansion Joints are the ideal selection when long straight runs ofpipe are involved.Table 2 is used to determine the total change in length of the pipe runbased upon the maximum and minimum temperatures of the system.The net change in length of the pipe run per 100 ft. of piping is thealgebraic difference between the expansion constant at the highesttemperature and the expansion constant at the lowest temperature.This difference is then multiplied by the total length of the pipe rundivided by 100.EXAMPLE:Determine the total change in length of a 250 feet long pipe run that isdesigned for 300 psig saturated steam (422 F) and is being installedoutside where the ambient temperature may reach 20 F.(3.44 – 0.15) x (250 100) 8.23 in.NOTE:The minimum temperature may not be the installation temperature.Table 1: Pipe Alignment Guide and Support SpacingNOMINALPIPE SIZE(NPS)PRIMARY (1st)GUIDE FROMEND(S) OFSLIP (feet)1 1 222 1 234568101214161820241 1 222346688121216202025INTERMEDIATE GUIDESPACING (feet)PRESSURE 5859511078111216222735505560708090100PIPE SUPPORTSPACING (Feet)WATER 2730323537394212 Proudly Manufactured in the U.S.A.
