Piping Guidelines
Correct
Use the smallest diameter pipe suitable
for the application.
Use the lightest wall pipe suitable for the
application.
Avoid tilting of the weigh vessel as a result
of non-uniform support stiffness. Small
rotations of the vessel can be amplified
into large movements at the first support.
Do not support pipes on a structure
which may deflect independently of the
vessel. Do support pipes from the
vessel’s support structure so that the
support point moves with the vessel, thus
reducing the relative deflection.
Do not attach all pipes to the same side of
the vessel. Arrange them symmetrically
around its diameter, as far as possible.
