Compensation issues for PP/FRP pipes
Thread Content
The linear expansion coefficient of PP/FRP pipes is 0.0069 mm/degree Celsius, which is approximately 6 times that of carbon steel. For such pipes, where the medium transported is a gas at normal temperature, is it still necessary to consider expansion compensation due to sunlight exposure? What do you all think?
With this material exposed to wind and sun, it will break down in no time… If the diameter isn’t large and there aren’t very long straight sections, then there’s no need to worry about it.
