The issue of thermal expansion and contraction in high-temperature areas remains unsolved
Thread Content
A classmate asked me that pipelines experience leaks when the temperature changes sharply from high to low, and also from low to high. What’s the reasoning? I replied that it’s thermal expansion and contraction. But she asked me detailed questions, and I couldn’t answer them. I’d appreciate it if fellow sea travelers could answer this question for me.
It is likely due to the different expansion coefficients of the bolts and the equipment
The bolts, gaskets between the sealing points, and the pipe material are all different; their expansion coefficients and expansion rates also vary. During rapid temperature increases or decreases, leaks can easily occur
