A pipe support or pipe hanger is a structural element that fixes a pipe in place and transfers loads between it and surrounding structures (functioning as a shock absorber if necessary). These loads include the weight of the pipe itself, the weight and pressure of any fluids inside or outside, and any attached pipe fittings or coverings such as insulation. The overall design configuration of a pipe support assembly is dependent on loading and operating conditions. Pipe supports used in high- or low-temperature applications may contain integrated insulation materials.
