deflection of 0.7" (20mm), but four times the pipe travel at any given location. Since the
ends are moving 1" (25mm) up at the top and 1" (25mm) down at the bottom, these
mountings would have 4" (100mm) static deflection. Half way to the anchor, both top and
bottom, the movement would be 0.5" (12mm) and the isolator deflection 2" (50mm). In
this example these four mountings would have enough capacity for the entire riser
weight. That is why the neutral central anchor is not statically loaded.
When the expansion takes place, the top hanger would lose 25% of the 4" (100mm)
deflection or 25% of its load and the mounting midway to the top would experience the
same proportionate phenomena. The two mountings below the anchor point would be
compressed an additional 25% each, so there is a load shift of minus 25% above and plus
25% below the anchor. Therefore the anchor location remains neutral. This load change
of plus or minus 25% per support location is minor and causes no difficulty.
For a complete discussion, please refer to our Bulletin Riser-112 in the "Hangers, Piping
Anchors, etc." section of the catalog. The specification reflects this system.
