How long should the straight sections on a pipe tray be before a U-turn is required? If calculated using proper methods, it’s quite complicated; special software is required, and manual calculations are both complex and inaccurate. Based on general experience, how long should a U-shaped bend be?
For pipelines with a small temperature difference, use an expansion bend every 80-100 meters. In applications with large temperature differences, such as steam pipelines and jacketed heating pipelines, an expansion bend is required every 60–80 meters.
When the temperature of the medium in the pipe ranges from 150 to 300°C and the distance between fixed points is around 30 m, the length and width of the compensator are approximately 8% to 10% of the distance between the fixed points.
