SUPPORT SYSTEMS 2025

242 TECHNICAL INFORMATION LOAD CALCULATION EXAMPLES 1. SUSPENSION ELEMENT RESISTANCE CALCULATION When designing pipe support systems, the basic aspects of the theory of strength of materials must be taken into consideration. To calculate the fixing of pipes in the system being designed, the weakest element has to be taken as a reference. Service loads PVC pipe Ø 125 mm + fluid (distance between supports: 1 metre) = 12,76 kg/m * Components’ resistance *Check data in technical sheets at indexfix.com and INDEX catalogue. The weakest element is the pipe clamp ABRI125, with a recommended resistance of 200kg. Therefore, the support system for the pipe clamp. is safe..
