Hi everyone,

By reasons that are far from the scope of this topic, we have to analyze level gage columns in a tower. The problem is what should be the temperature in the bridle piping. These bridles are short as couple of feet or as long as 24+ feet and are all over the length of the tower. We cannot find anyone who wants to step in from process group. The opinions are divided in how much lower would be the temperature of the bridle (if it is any lower). They are insulated as the tower is but we are expecting to have some heat loss.
The main point is that even though the temperature could be lower I have never seen a bridle with an expansion loop in the vertical run, so :or the temperature is close to the tower, or there are many “failing” bridles all over the world.
I would like to hear from you if anyone has a table, knows about any software, or has experience about this issue.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Regards,
