How Often Should Steps Be Sized to Eliminate Expansion Loops in Sloped Pipework?
From 15 to ca. 300 degC. I think there is about 30 com expansion in 50 m. The question is how many loops of what size do I need. I keep getting a 4m high by 2m wide loop (twice), which intuitively seems massive to me, or a number of smaller ones.- thearny2

At what temperature range can brittle fracture be expected in low carbon steels?
It is around -20 degC I think. Type of steel and manufacturing route I guess, not something I know about. Just use stainless...- thearny2

How Often Should Steps Be Sized to Eliminate Expansion Loops in Sloped Pipework?
I am working on a system that requires expansion loops. I have located formulae on engineering toolbox.com and the spirax sarco website for determining the size of the loops required. So a 2m wide loop needs to be 4m tall, and I need one every 17m, roughly. What I struggling to get my head...- thearny2
