Hangers

The standard MDS application for hangers allows you to create fixed and variable pipe hangers. The application is interactive and configurable, and simplifies:

• Definition of project related defaults.

• Control of hanger design.

• Determination of range, types, and configuration of hanger components that can be used on the project.

Hangers are designed using the hanger components catalogue of a given supplier and are template-driven.

Note: The standard hanger templates are stored in a SITE named /MDS/HANGERS. To use the standard hanger templates the default option property for the MDSHANGIF keyword must be set to ‘Standard MDS’ on the PARAGON defaults database, (refer to the MDS Admin Data form in the Administrator Guide).

The application is supplied with hanger templates from three different hanger component suppliers. The project administrator can configure and customize those templates to adopt any company’s hanger configurations or any other hanger components catalogue. For further information refer to the MDS Hanger Data form in the MDS Administrator Guide.
