Pipe Expansion and Support | Spirax Sarco
Find the approximate expansion from 15°C, of 100 metres of carbon steel pipework used to distribute steam at 265°C. Temperature difference is 265 - 15°C = 250°C. Where the diagonal temperature difference line of 250°C cuts the horizontal pipe length line at 100 m, drop a vertical line down. For this example an approximate expansion of 330
