CKS = 1/130 (constant depending on support stiffness unit) 0.007692
A = Pipe metal cross sectional area (mm2)
I = pipe cross sectional area moment of Inertia (mm4)
Machine RPM 420
n = 2 (minimum of active support) 2
fn.T = min. transverse natural frequency in Hz (to be provided by compressor vendor) 16.8
Approximate verification of stiffness as per the above Equation considering Min transverse
frequency of 2.4 times of RPM i.e 2.4 * (590/60)=2.4*9.83=23.59, is worked out. The results
are as below:
