Piping supports of many types and sizes are necessary to ensure the structural integrity of power plant piping systems. For situations where standard vendor items may not be adequate or economical, beam-type piping supports are often useful. Such supports may be fabricated from bar stock, I-sections, pipes, or beams of other cross sectional geometries. The SUPAN program was developed to facilitate ASME code analysis of a large number of supports subjected to multiple loading conditions. Allowable member cross section types are--solid rectangular, American Institute of Steel construction W, M, S, and HP shapes, solid round, solid square, and pipe. A maximum of 25 separate load cases may be specified. Five of these may then be combined to form each of the combined load sets used in the analysis. Alternate signs of response spectrum load sets are considered and service condition stress limit multiplication factors are determined when the combined load sets are formed.CDC7600; FORTRAN IV; SCOPE 2; 15,000 (octal) words of small core memory (SCM) and 372,000 (octal) words of large core memory (LCM) are used.
