Expansion loop for a steel pipe
Steel pipe expansion loop with nominal diameter "dn" shedule "SCH" and length "Linst"
The given length "Linst" refers to an installation at a temperature "tinst".
The pipe will expand with respect to its length "Linst", due to the temperature rise Dt = tmax - tinst
The maximum temperature could be reached due to the ambient temperature and solar radiation,
or due to fluid flowing through it.
Similarly, the pipe could shrink due to low ambient temperatures and radiation to the sky.

Expansion joint calculation considering the arms bending and the rotation of the elbows

The calculation of the heigth "H" of the arms is done considering the requirement of a maximum allowable bending stre

Expansion joint

The temperature rise produces an extension of the pipe length.

Dilation of the pipe produces a deflection "DL / 2"
in the point "C" of the left arm "AC". The same occurs in the
arm BD.

The expansion joint shall absorb the total dilation DL

without surpassing the given maximum material stress.

Each half of the expansion joint shall permit a displacement

f = DL / 2. This shift f will be produced by the contribution of:
1) Flexion of arm AC, denoted as f1
b) Displacement of point C due to the rotation of the elbow in A, denoted as f2

Cantilever beam with concentrated load A deflection "f2", due to rotation of the
elbow of the expansion joint in point "A"
is added to arrow "f1" due to bending
H of arm.
P f = f1 + f2
