Abstract
An apparatus for the mechanical decoupling of a piping system including a pipe line having at least one connecting pipe section with a connecting point and straight pipe line sections connected to and protruding in different directions from the connecting point, includes first holders in the form of commercially available pipe clams firmly connected to a building and distributed at given equal spacings depending on the load-carrying capacity of the pipes exclusively for supporting the pipe lines of the piping system; second fixed-point holders in the form of commercially available pipe clamps disposed in the vicinity of the connecting pipe section including second fixed-point holders directly adjacent the connecting point, at least one of the second fixed-point holders being disposed at each of the respective pipe line sections and three of the second fixed-point holders each being disposed at a respective corner of a triangle for immovably holding the pipe lines and enabling vibrations of the piping system to be calculated, and the pipe clams forming the second fixed-point holders directly adjacent the connecting point being spaced apart from each other and from the connecting point by a spacing substantially shorter than the given spacings.
