Expansion loop
Expansion loop
(OP)
Hi all,
Where can I go to get to know how to design an expansion loop. For thermal oil 250 deg C, circulation pump. What is the "hydrostatically balanced" expansion joint?
Thanks yo,
MW

Hope it has what you want.
I can see some photos of balanced joints, but did not look long enough to actually find one on the site.

RE: Expansion loop
For expansion loop design, you need to do piping stress analysis to find out where and how much the piping is overstressed or if the reaction loads at pump nozzle are too high. Expansion joints may be needed but you definately need expansion loop(s) to resolve your problem.
You can find some good articles in the following link:

Good luck
RE: Expansion loop
Even with these handbooks I still would recommend that someone versed in the design of piping systems be involved.
In addition to the above references here is another good.
