Trunnion Support (or Dummy) Check
Trunnion supports are among the most frequently used pipe supports in the process piping industry. This support is widely used in the piping industry due to its ease of construction and erection. The construction and erection of a dummy supports is very easy because you have to simply weld a pipe (normally one or more size less than the parent pipe to which it is to be welded) with the parent pipe. However, the load-bearing capacity of these supports is not as comparable to civil supports. So, every stress engineer must check the weld point from a failure viewpoint and investigate the ability to carry the piping load (mostly the tangential and longitudinal load and corresponding moment). The chances of weld failure increase with an increase in trunnion length or trunnion height.
PIPE SUPPORT DEFINITIONS
In the world of piping design, pipe supports play a crucial role in ensuring the stability and functionality of piping systems. They not only support the weight of the pipes but also accommodate various forces and movements. Understanding the different types of pipe supports and their symbols is essential for anyone involved in piping design or maintenance.
