Lets Start With Determining The Pipe Size and Pipe Dimensions
![Page 85: Systems to Compensate for Thermal Expansion and · PDF fileSystems to Compensate for Thermal Expansion and Contraction. Things We Have Learned From Being Sued. 6” Model MC - 6 Corrugations](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051718/5a70e3337f8b9aa2538c7880/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
To Calculate Expansion
1 Determine design temperature – for example 200° F.
2 Establish installation temperature - For example 50° F
3 Find the expansion rate per 100 feet –1.179” / 100 feet for steel – 1.728” / 100 feet for copper
4 Determine the length of pipe run – for example 165 feet
5 Multiply the expansion rate by the length.(165 / 100) X 1.179 = 1.94” Expansion
6 If the joint is for both thermal and seismic, the values must be added together!

Keep in Mind
90° changes in direction are the most efficient piping configuration to use to take up thermal expansion or contraction.
Smaller angles will compound the movements!
