I vote for asking Jack Black first.
However, if you want us to guess, perhaps it would help if you answered the following, or maybe you can answer it yourself with this mindset:
1) Direction of force vs pipe orientation (are these forces axial or perpendicular with respect to the piping orientation)
2) How do the magnitudes of forces compare with:
a) length of pipe
b) cross sectional area of pipe (circular)
c) cross sectional area of side profile of pipe (rectangular)
d) volume of segment of pipe
3) What the pipe is used for, and if there are any unusual properties of the contents?
4) What setting is the pipe in? Is it on some unstable/dynamic platform?
5) Are these uniform loads expressed in force/length or in accelerations?
6) Do you have livestock or wild animals (or very large operators) who like to come lean on the piping when it's cold outside?
Obviously it's all just guesswork - if you can find the actual study, maybe you can find the project basis for design document.
