    03. What is the recommended Seismic support spacing?

    Applies To
    Product(s): AutoPIPE
    Version(s): ALL
    Environment: N/A
    Area: Seismic Load case
    Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group
    Date Logged
    & Current Version

    09.06.01.10

    Problem:

    What is the recommended Seismic support spacing?

    Solution:

    MSS SP-127-2001 (Bracing for piping Systems Seismic - Wind - Dynamic) recommends a lateral seismic support every 40ft and longitudinal support every 80ft. 

    But just note this guideline tends to be conservative and over predict number and size of seismic supports.
