Don’t Crack Under Pressure! Designing Piping Systems for Thermal Expansion

The March edition of our From Experience newsletter looks at Designing Piping Systems for Thermal Expansion.  Hixson considers both the thermal expansion of the liquid in the pipe line, as well as the stresses created on the piping due to metal thermal expansion, when designing utility piping or process tubing systems.  Piping thermal expansion is growth or contraction of the piping material due to the change in pipe metal temperature at operating conditions.  Click here to read the newsletter.
