What does variability mean in pipe supports? |
|
Variability applies to variable spring supports and is basically a ratio between the difference in load and the operating load of the spring. The difference in load is a function of the spring rate and travel. Per MSS, the maximum recommended variability would be 25%. However, critical systems such as main steam supports may require variability factors less than 25%. |
