supports (variable load ones) are normally set in "cold load" in the
installed condition and the support carries the design "Hot" load in
the operating condition.Usualy the "hot" load is the operating
condition load and is arrived from the dead weight analysis. "Cold"
load is calculated from the 'Hot' load and the spring stiffness based
on the vertical displacement at the support point.This is an easy
enough procedure. Does this answer your query? The support carries
not only the dead weight of the valve but also that of the piping and
contents plus insulation, if any. Where large vertical displacements
are involved and the variation between hot and cold loads is more
than 20 to 25%, constant load supports are resorted to.
