Sigma,
Nozzle allowable load of adjacent equipment is low and I cannot use the metallic expansion joint. Movement of the nozzle in left side equipment is about 30,40 mm in the vertical and radial direction, thus movement*stiffness of metallic expansion joint is higher than allowable load. What is the problem with the fabric expansion joint at temp 500?
Michael,
I think it is better to change EJ4 to Hinged type for the stability of the system. Also, the orientation of hinged should be in accordance with the picture. But the orientation of EJs are about 3-4 degrees and the use of spring support(spring can for under pipe) may be impossible, and I should use hanger. Do you have any advice on the design of the line?
