Pipe support heat transfer
Pipemill: for the design, analysis and layout of piping components
The program applies principles outlined in ASTM C 680-04 to estimate heat transfer from a pipe support shoe, enabling an assessment of local temperature at the base plate.
Heat transfer methods considered
- conduction, and
- convection.
Types of pipe support covered
The pipe support may be:
- a simple tee type
- a double axial plate, or including a web stiffener.
Outputs
Temperature gradient against shoe height is produced in two forms:
- numerical
- graphical.
Analysis support
The help file contains typical thermodynamic data for common pipe support materials.
