Structural steel pipe racks typically support pipes, power cables and instrument cable trays in

petrochemical, chemical and power plants. Occasionally, pipe racks may also support mechanical
equipment, vessels and valve access platforms. Main pipe racks generally transfer material
between equipment and storage or utility areas. Storage racks found in warehouses are not pipe
racks, even if they store lengths of pipe.[1]

A pipe rack is the main artery of a process unit. Pipe racks carry process and utility piping and
may also include instrument and cable trays as well as equipment mounted over all of these.[2]

Pipe racks consist of a series of transverse bents that run along the length of the pipe system,
spaced at uniform intervals typically around 20 ft. To allow maintenance access under the pipe
rack, the transverse bents are typically moment frames. Transverse bents are typically connected
with longitudinal struts.[1]

struktural rak pipa baja biasanya mendukung pipa, kabel listrik dan kabel instrumen nampan di
pabrik petrokimia, kimia dan kekuasaan. Kadang-kadang, rak pipa juga dapat mendukung
peralatan mekanik, kapal dan katup akses platform. Pipa utama rak umumnya mentransfer
material antara peralatan dan penyimpanan atau daerah utilitas. Rak penyimpanan yang
ditemukan di gudang tidak rak pipa, bahkan jika mereka menyimpan batang pipa. [1]

Sebuah rak pipa arteri utama dari unit proses. Rak pipa membawa proses dan utilitas perpipaan
dan bisa juga menyertakan instrumen dan kabel nampan serta peralatan yang dipasang di atas
semua ini. [2]

Rak pipa terdiri dari serangkaian bents melintang yang berjalan sepanjang sistem pipa, berjarak
pada interval seragam biasanya sekitar 20 ft. Untuk memungkinkan akses perawatan di bawah
rak pipa, yang bents melintang biasanya frame saat. Bents melintang biasanya terhubung dengan
struts memanjang. [1]
