Linear expansion compensation

When designing linear expansion compensation for TERMOTECH Termoplasty pipeline systems in a traditional manner, following two basic issues should be considered:

• correct calculation of ΔL expansion

• proper planning of fixed point arrangement - P.S.

• proper designing of Lp spacing between moving supports - P.R.

• ensuring minimum compensation arms H

The traditional linear expansion compensation methods include:

"U-shape" expansion joint	"Z-shape" expansion joint

Spacing of Lp moving supports for traditional compensation, m

Length of compensation are H depending on expansion, m
