Piping support type selection

[octane]

How a piping support type is selected? What are the basis?
Please elaborate with reference standards?

American standards MSS SP-58, MSS SP-69 and MSS SP-89 contain everything regarding your query.
All the supports type and their selection guidance have been listed. I would advise you to keep any good book also with you while going through these standards.
If you have any specific query, you may ask.

Go through Chapter 5 McGraw Hill Piping Handbook and you would be knowing much after that.

Excellent document .

When Piping Layout is finalized , and before submitting critical lines for analysis , whats the criteria which point in the routing will require support......how to decide that....?

[salzx64]

The criteria for span of supports is mentioned in ASME B31.1 and other piping codes..also you'll find it in any Piping Handbook. See the table 121.5 attached. This is just a basic guide for dry/water/insulated pipe lines but a more rigorous and accurate methodology is to use a stress analysis software or tools and piping span will be automatically adjusted as you'll analyze against Gravity, Pressure, Temperature, Wind and siesmic loads, the combinations of all of them etc.
