This specification specifies the basic requirements of pipe racks in petrochemical industry, calculation of load and earthquake action, calculation for pipe racks, and design requirements on pipe rack structure and pipe sleepers.
This specification is applicable to the design of pipe racks and pipe sleepers in petrochemical industry.
This specification is not applicable to the design of pipe racks with the pipeline itself as the load-carrying structure and other large-scale crossing pipe racks cross rivers.
