The installation location of pipe supports should avoid weak points such as pipe welds and flanges, and the support points should be evenly distributed.
After long-term operation, it is necessary to regularly check whether the pipe support fasteners are loose, whether the insulation layer is damaged, and whether the base has settled. For pipe supports installed outdoors, attention should also be paid to the integrity of the anti-corrosion coating, and timely recoating should be carried out to extend its service life.
If the pipeline medium changes (such as from room temperature to high temperature), the suitability of the pipe support needs to be reassessed, and the material or structure should be replaced if necessary.
