Pipe Expansion and Support - Spirax Sarco
Pipe Expansion and Support. Any steam system must be fully supported, able to expand during operation and sufficiently flexible to allow movement as a result. This tutorial includes advice on different methods and full calculations.
A high percentage of steam and condensate systems use American National Standard Pipe Thread (NPT) connections, typically for piping systems 2” and smaller. Figure 1: Typical Threaded Connection.
Pipes and Pipe Sizing - Spirax Sarco
Pipes and Pipe Sizing for steam distribution. Pipe sizing is a crucial aspect of steam system design. This tutorial offers detailed advice on standards, schedules, materials and sizing for various saturated and superheated steam duties.
Steam distribution - Pipe expansion and supports in steam …
In practical terms, the pipework is assembled cold with a spacer piece, of length equal to half the expansion, between two flanges. When the pipework is fully installed and anchored at both ends, the spacer is removed and the joint pulled up tight (image below).
Key Considerations for Optimal Steam Piping Design
Properly sizing the pipes and arranging them in an optimal layout ensures efficient steam distribution, minimizes pressure drop, and reduces the risk of operational issues such as water hammer, condensate accumulation, excessive pressure drop, steam trapping, steam quality, and leakage of steam.
