what is the maximum force on a support?

once the stress calculation is completed, it is possible to have supports that have very high loads.

For example a 4-inch pipe with a 4000N rest support.

what is the maximum value that a shoe can support before damaging the pipe?
do you have any reference tables?

I imagine that an FEA analysis should be made based on the type of support (direct support on the beam, 300mm long shoe, 400mm long shoe, ...) and on pipe schedule. But for an Std. schedule pipe, which values do you think are acceptable for lines of 2 ", 3", 4 ", 6", 8 "?
