Pipe support

Pipe support on a steel T-post with anchored base plate, stiffeners and earthing boss. Types: resting T-shoe on a PTFE slide pad, guided shoe with bolted guide angles, anchor (line stops plus guides, welded), U-bolt on a wear pad, dummy leg welded to an elbow, and trunnion under a base elbow. Shoe height 100 mm (150 mm insulated), length 300 to 600 mm by size. height is the bottom-of-pipe elevation; set pipe to show the supported line.

Installation

Copies piping/pipe-support.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.

Usage

import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { PipeSupport } from './components/deck-twin/piping/pipe-support'

export default function Scene() {
  return (
    <Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
      <Stage>
        <PipeSupport />
      </Stage>
      <OrbitControls makeDefault />
    </Canvas>
  )
}

Props

P&ID

On isometrics and GAs: a mark at the support point with its type code (shoe, guide G, line stop LS, anchor A, dummy leg DL, trunnion) and number; in section, the pipe resting on a shoe on a steel member or post.

Piping support convention (isometric / GA support marks); MSS SP-58

Not on P&IDs. An anchor is often drawn as a cross on the pipe; a guide as two short bars either side; a shoe as a small rectangle under the pipe.

For agents

Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:

Or fetch /r/pipe-support.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:

Add the Deck Twin "Pipe support" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add pipe-support` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info pipe-support` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <PipeSupport /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
