Seismic supports and hangers mainly include the following types:
Single-tube seismic supports and hangers: Mainly used to support a single pipe, with simple design and easy installation, suitable for various pipeline systems, such as water supply, drainage, fire protection, etc. When an earthquake occurs, it can effectively reduce the shaking of the pipeline and prevent the pipeline from breaking or being damaged.
Door-type seismic supports and hangers: It is similar to a door frame and has a high load-bearing capacity and stability. It is usually used to support heavier equipment or pipeline systems, such as air-conditioning units, large ventilation equipment, etc. Its design enables it to withstand forces from multiple directions, thereby providing better protection in earthquakes.
Lateral seismic supports and hangers: Installed on the same side of the pipeline, used to resist the left and right swing of the pipeline. Common forms include shear walls, frames, and interlayer shear connections to prevent the transmission of horizontal forces.
Longitudinal seismic supports and hangers: There are supporting lateral seismic supports and hangers, which are mainly used to resist the forward and backward swing of the pipeline. Its design purpose is to provide vertical stiffness and shear stiffness to keep the structure in a vertical position during an earthquake.
Comprehensive seismic supports and hangers: Used to support complex piping systems, such as integrated piping, rectangular ducts, etc., to ensure their stability during earthquakes.
Role and importance of seismic supports and hangers: Seismic supports and hangers play a vital role in construction projects, ensuring that pipelines, cable trays and related equipment remain stable during natural disasters such as earthquakes, reducing damage and secondary disasters. The correct selection and use of seismic supports and hangers is essential to ensure the safety and stability of construction projects.
