Expansion issues in steam systems
Thread Content
Dear friends, our unit is undergoing a renovation of its steam system. The length of the renovation is approximately 300 meters. How should the expansion of its steam be considered? Due to the location of the support frame, it is not possible to install a U-shaped bend. I would appreciate any advice you might have. It’s better if the plan is more detailed
Check the steam pressure and temperature; use expansion joints, and obtain the data related to these expansion joints from the manufacturer
The original poster is being too vague – a 300-meter straight pipe? What is the pipe diameter? There should be an L-shaped bend~~ If the pipe diameter is large, the temperature is high, and it’s not possible to make a bend, it is recommended to use expansion joints. As for how to choose them and where to install them, you’ll need to do some calculations~~~~
