Overview

Engineering reference data for Piping Support in statics.

Key Formulas

Equilibrium

F=0,M=0\sum F = 0, \quad \sum M = 0

Sum of forces and moments equals zero for a body in equilibrium.

Stress

σ=FA\sigma = \frac{F}{A}

Force per unit area.

Moment

M=FdM = F \cdot d

Force × perpendicular distance.
