‎@pipingknowledge5360 Expansion loops in the Piping System. 2D & 3D loop, Important Point of Expension Loop
.Why do we need Piping Expansion Loops?
Piping systems are often subjected to varying temperatures, either due to the fluid being transported or environmental conditions. As the temperature of a material increases, it expands, and when the temperature decreases, it contracts. This expansion and contraction can result in significant stress on the piping material.
Expansion loops provide sufficient flexibility to prevent thermal expansion and contraction from causing excessive stresses in the piping system
Metal pipes when subjected to temperature variations expand or contract longitudinally and around their circumference. Steam distribution pipelines are subjected to very high temperatures and expand. Expansion loops, elbows, bellows, z bends accommodate and direct free expansion of the lines.

What is the rule of thumb for pipe expansion loop?
The expansion loop, as a rule, should be located in the center of the distance between two anchors. The height of the expansion loop is normally twice the width. The exception to this rule occurs when more than one line runs parallel in a common trench.
Where should expansion loops be positioned?
If the use of expansion devices is not suitable for the application, you may be able to utilise expansion loops to take up the thermal expansion of the pipework. Loops should always be positioned in the middle of a pipe run, with anchors at the end of each run.
Why is there an expansion pipe?
… problems associated with pipework movement but offer such advantages as reducing stresses and loads to connecting equipment such as pumps and steam turbines
