EXAMPLE
Find the loop size for a 6" diameter steel pipe carrying
200F heating water with 200 ft. between anchors and
an average annual ground temperature of 50F.
Given:
Steel (C)
= 6.5x10- in./in.F
Distance (L)
= 200 ft.
Temp. Diff. (AT)= (200F - 50F) = 150F
Pipe Diam. (D) = 6"
Calculations:
AL = C x L x ( T - T ) x 12in./ ft.
AL = 6.5 x 10" x 200 x (200 - 50) x 12
AL = 2.34 in. (expansion)
From the expansion loop chart for steel:
Requires 5'x10' expansion loop.
