No, the conduit has to be supported individually from a supportive structure. The spacing of the strapping is related to the size of the conduit.
Conduit is just a medium to get the wires from one place to another. There is no voltage restrictions in low voltage wiring (750 volts or less). When it comes to conduit fill, electricians are governed by the electrical code conduit fill tables. The conduit is sized to accommodate the conductor size for a specific load.
Steel conduit weighs more, provides more protection, and costs more than plastic conduit. Plastic conduit weighs less, is easier to work with, and costs less than steel conduit.
A conduit connecter is a connecting piece used to connect two individual conduit units together. Conduit connecters can refer to both electrical conduits and pipe/plumbing related conduits.
Conduit bodies are used to provide pulling access in a run of conduit, to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical, to allow more bends to be made in a section of conduit or to split a conduit path into multiple directions.

When exist a junction box EMT, conduit must be supported within 18 inches.
Another name for thin wall conduit is EMT and stands for Electrical Metallic Tubing. The term thin wall is used to differentiate between two conduit systems, thin wall and rigid conduit systems.
YES
Conduits shall be supported at intervals not exceeding 3000mm.
Well I don't think there is going to be another Conduit 3 but I am hopeful for 2015 at least.
I always put the first EMT clip/strap 1 foot or 12 inches away from the junction box, then every 5 feet or so after that.
There are many types of conduit used for the containment of electrical wires. PVC is a non-metallic option. If you need something that provides mechanical protection, EMT is a steel conduit with a thin wall. Need even more mechanical protection, you can use rigid conduit. It comes in steel or aluminum, and must be threaded together.

Canal, channel, culvert, gully, gutter, course.
Pipe, duct, conduit, hose, straw...
Conduit wiring is synonymous to wires in a pipe.
