Thermal expansion refers to the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature. Stainless steel pipes has a thermal expansion of 4.6 inches/100 feet at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Materials expand cold shrink when heated. Pipeline is not immune to these natural laws, so they will also vary with temperature expansion and contraction.

What else can I help you with?
What is the thermal expansion coefficient for steel c 15?
thermal expansion depends on Temperature and material of steel
Why use loop in pipe rack?
For thermal expansion of the pipe, avoiding damage/clash to adjoining pipes.
What are the disadvantages of structural steel?
Low resistance to fire, and high thermal expansion.
What is invar steel used for?
Invar steel is used in applications that require low thermal expansion, such as precision instruments, clocks, and scientific devices. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion helps it maintain dimensional stability over a wide range of temperatures.
Does steel expand or compress when heated?
Steel expands when heated because the heat causes the atoms within the steel to vibrate more, increasing the spacing between them. This expansion can be measured in terms of thermal expansion coefficients.
What are the Rates of expansion and contraction of cast iron and steel and brass and cpvc pipe?
The coeifficent of expansion per degree can be found in the manufacturers charts
Can a valve be installed at the end of steam expansion loop?
Yes. The expansion loop is only there to take up the thermal expansion of the pipe run, installing a valve will not impede the action of the loop.
Why is stainless steel more likely to suffer from distortion than carbon steels?
high thermal expansion
What is the percentage elongation of fe500 steel?
The answer depends on what causes the elongation: a stretching force (tension) or thermal expansion.
How does steel expand on supplying power to it?
As current passes through steel, it heats up from resistive heating. As it heats up, it expands. A typical coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is 13x10-6 m/m K but the exact coefficient of thermal expansion of steel depends on the type of steel. For example:Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion for:(10-6 m/m K)(10-6 in/in oF)Steel13.07.3Steel Stainless Austenitic (304)17.39.6Steel Stainless Austenitic (310)14.48.0Steel Stainless Austenitic (316)16.08.9Steel Stainless Ferritic (410)9.95.5
Why should expansion loops be incorporated into a system?
In a pipeline system, expansion loops, which may actually be ahorseshoe or w-shape besides a loop, provide a tolerance for the pipe when it experiences a thermal expansion or contraction.
What is the Coefficient of thermal expansion of 15-5PH stainless steel?
6.3 in/in.°F or 11.3 µm/m.°K
