Allowable Pipe Span Datasheet

• Spans are based on using carbon steel pipe (A53-GR.B) filled with water.
• Spans are based on 12 1/2% mill tolerance and .065" correction tolerance.
• Spans are based on insulated and uninsulated lines below 650°F.
• If supports are spaced greater than 25'-0" consultation with a structural engineer should be
performed for additional analysis.
