RE: expansion joint
BS 1113 gives information on the requirements for expansion joints in furnaces as does AS 1228. I cannot remember if ASME I does. What design standard is your boiler designed to? I may be able to help.

RE: expansion joint
To design expansion joint you can use EJMA expansion joint manufacture associate.
Also you can use the ASME SEC VIII appendix 26.
