hi again,
do anybody have an idea about How the leg length can be calculated???
i have FLUOR manual in that they have calculated leg length, however i didn't get that.
e.g. Pipes connected between two anchor. 6" SCH 40 @ 300 degree F N material is CS. having horizontal length 25'(guide)+ 25'+20' and vertical length = 20'
Vertical Expansion is =20 * 0.0182 = 0.364"
hence Calculated leg Length is (L) =20+25+5= 50'
and Thermal Force(T.F.) = Less than 200#
Now how that L and T.F has been calculated ????
thx in advance.
