How to Account for Thermal Expansion and Contraction in System Design
Thermal expansion and contraction is a property of all piping materials, including both metals and thermoplastics. If left unaccounted for in piping system design, it can cause compressive stress on pipe and fittings.
With the BlazeMaster® CPVC Pipe Expansion Calculator, easily account for BlazeMaster CPVC's linear expansion and design around compression stress concerns.
How the Expansion Calculator Works
Enter in your pipe diameter, maximum and minimum temperatures, and pipe length. From there the calculator will deliver required expansion loop dimensions in both feet and inches.
