Expansion Joint Calc- Cp, Cf Cd values

Expansion Joint Calc- Cp, Cf Cd values

Expansion Joint Calc- Cp, Cf Cd values

(OP)
Hiya,
I have just gone through my first calculations for expansion joints (EJMA) and used the graphs there to look up relevant Cp, Cf and Cd values.

Anyone got a faster/more accurate way then reading it off those graphs?
Thanks

RE: Expansion Joint Calc- Cp, Cf Cd values

Appendix 26 in ASME SC VIII-I is based off of EJMA calculations.  Near the end of the appendix are the charts and tables for the values as well.  I always use the tables.  However, the problem exists that I do not know if they are based on the current EJMA or an earlier version.  I hope that helps.

Thanks PV Guy. Will have to get a copy of VIII (we have 2 and 9 here no 8)
I am hoping to put the table into excel so that it can auto-calc the values. will let you know if I succeed!
