Expansion Joint Tie-Rod Gaps
Expansion Joint Tie-Rod Gaps
(OP)
Can anyone explain what is the meaning of tie rod gaps provided by the manufacturers?
What happens when there is no gap in either one of forward or backward direction?
What happens when there is no gaps at all? If there is no gap, will it help the piping system in reducing axial load? and how?
Is expansion joint not useful in tension case?
If the gaps are fully closed due to expansion or compression, what impact will it have in the system?
When the forward gap and backward gap is not fully closed, is the use of expansion joint justified?
I am bit confused about the tie rod used in expansion joint. So can anyone clear few queries that I have. I will be very thankful for any answers.

So that combination of run on sentences was just to show one use of expansion joints where there's no real axial displacement of the joint. If it needs cleaning up just let me know and I can work on it.

It is of great help for me to understand things about Expansion Joints.

Google can do a lot.
