NOTE 1. This support is suitable only for nominally horizontal sections of pipe lines. When using this type of support consideration shall be given to
problems related to possible in-service damage to the pipe thermal insulation in the vicinity of the support.
NOTE 2. Range D1 gives dimensions for pipe clips using BS 1501: 620 grade 27B (1% Cr, % Mo) material for use for maximum temperature of 510C.
Ranges D2 and D3 give respectively, dimensions for pipe clips using BS 1501 : 620 grade 27B (1% Cr, % Mo) material for use for maximum
temperature of 540C and BS 1501: 622 grade 31B (2 % Cr, 1% Mo) material for use up to 570C.
NOTE 3. Asbestos free tape or millboard may be placed between the pipe and the U-Strap. In such cases, the dimensions of the U-Strap shall be
adjusted to ensure that it does not tighten on to the pipe.
