Steel Pipes and Temperature Expansion

Temperature expansion of carbon steel pipes

The maximum and minimum length of a pipe depends to the maximum and minimum temperature of the pipe - in cold (non operating) and running (operating) condition. The temperature expansion coefficient steel pipes per degree change of temperature is nearly constant:

  • 6.5 10-6 (in/in oF)
  • 14.0 10-6 (m/m oC)
