Discussion on the fixation of steam pipes
Thread Content
There is a real-world engineering example in which a branch is taken off from the main steam pipeline in the plant; after making a slight upward curve, this branch leads to the company’s steam drum. But please discuss whether such fixing and turning are reasonable.
You mean the expansion bend at the corner, right? It’s used to prevent thermal expansion and eliminate stress.
Yes, and whether the position for fixing it directly behind the bend is appropriate. But I don’t know how to upload a screenshot
For steam pipes, there are six fixed directions, and the pipes expand in these predetermined directions; each expansion joint and branch comes equipped with such limits
