The document , titled "Pipe Hangers and Supports - Selection and Application," is a standard practice provided by the Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) Status and Replacement MSS SP-69-2003 standard has been
. However, many professionals access reference versions or summaries through engineering platforms and document repositories like for educational purposes.
The standard was organized into several critical sections that detailed how to manage mechanical stress and thermal expansion in piping: ANSI/MSS SP-69-2003 - Pipe Hangers and Supports
It dictates how hangers must handle static loads (the weight of the pipe and fluid) and dynamic loads (vibrations or sudden surges).
While historically a standalone document, modern practitioners should note that the contents of MSS SP-69 were officially incorporated into the comprehensive standard. However, SP-69 remains frequently referenced in legacy project specifications and is still available as an active document through various Standardization Society outlets . Scope and Primary Objective
