• Shoe weld support:-

This is generally used to support insulated lines, which cannot be directly supported on
steel structure. Usually a I- beam cut into two half is used as a shoe. Shoe height depends upon
the insulation thickness. It allows pipe to move in
axial as well as transverse direction but restricts only the vertical downward movement. .shoe is
directly welded to the pipe.

• Shoe clamp support:-

This is similar to shoe weld support. shoe is welded to a clamp put around pipe

• Guide support:-

This type of support is used to restrict the movement of pipe in transverse direction i.e.
perpendicular to length of pipe but allow movement in longitudinal direction. This is also a
commonly used type of support.
