Abstract
A pipe-on-pipe pipe support apparatus and method of use is disclosed. The pipe support apparatus has an upper corrugated support surface comprised of a series of valleys and ridges and a bottom have a support surface that conforms to the curved or circular surface of an underlying pipe support structure such as a pipe. The bottom surface and support surface create flanges or guides to hold the pipe support apparatus upon the underlying pipe support structure. The support surface may be a skid-resistant support surface. The supported piping is positioned to rest solely upon the ridges on the upper surface of the pipe support apparatus.

A pipe support apparatus comprising:
- (a) an underlying pipe support structure having a curved support surface;
- (b) a pipe support base comprised of an isolating composite material, said pipe support base having a corrugated top with a series of valleys and ridges and a support bottom having a support area conforming to said curved support surface of said underlying pipe support structure;
- (c) said support area on said bottom of said base positioned upon said curved support surface of said underlying pipe support structure;
- and
- (d) piping supported on said ridges of said corrugated top of said pipe support base.
A pipe support apparatus comprising:
- (a) an underling pipe support structure having a circular support surface;
- (b) a pipe support base having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein said top surface of said pipe support base is a corrugated surface having a series of valleys and ridges and wherein said bottom surface of said pipe support base is a curved support area supported upon said curved support surface of said underlying pipe support structure, said curved support area conforming to said curved support surface of said underlying pipe support structure;
- (c) a skid-resistant surface on said curved support area of said bottom surface of said pipe support base, said skid-resistant surface having a coefficient of friction in the range ≥0.2μ and ≤0.8μ;
- (d) piping supported upon said ridges of said corrugated surface of said top surface of said pipe support base;
- and
- (e) wherein said pipe support base is comprised of an isolating composite material.
A pipe support apparatus comprising:
- (a) an underling pipe support structure having a circular support surface;
- (b) a pipe support base having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein said top surface of said pipe support base is a corrugated surface having a series of valleys and ridges and wherein said bottom surface of said pipe support base has a support area comprised of beveled support surfaces supported upon said circular support surface of said underlying pipe support structure;
- (c) a skid-resistant surface on said support area of said bottom surface of said pipe support base, said skid-resistant surface having a coefficient of friction in the range ≥0.2μ and ≤0.8μ;
- (d) piping supported on said ridges of said corrugated surface of said top surface of said pipe support base;
- and
- (e) wherein said pipe support base is comprised of an isolating composite material.
