1 Scope
This Uhde standard (UN) applies to the design and construction of industrial and chemical plants. It contains
requirements about design dimensions, weights and allowable loads of the clamps form A and form U for
uninsulated, heat-insulated and cold-insulated steel piping. American Standards with metric dimensions are
based for this pipe clamps.
