Calculation of thermal expansion and contraction

icona del tool di calcolo della dilatazione termica Aliaxis Italia

Due to temperature changes in a system, pipes can expand and contract. To prevent breakage of fasteners, compensators are usually used, or expansion rings or changes in direction are made. This tool allows us to calculate the right parameters to prevent the potential expansion or contraction of our systems.
