<p>The suspension means engages with a substantially horizontal portion of the pipework which is located at a geodetic altitude which is considerably different from that of the clamped portion of the pipework. In one embodiment, the suspension means has a pair of links each of which is pivotally connected to one of two spaced apart positions of the horizontal pipework portion and a pendulum to which the links are connected in common. The pendulum is pivotally mounted on a ceiling or the like. During expansion of the pipework, the suspension means allows the horizontal pipework portion to rise so as to relieve stressing in the pipework. In other embodiments, pairs of links may be used or a wire cable can be used to suspend the horizontal pipework portion.</p> |
