Thermal Effects In Plastic Piping Systems
|
From Hayward Flow Control Systems
Temperature effects on plastic piping systems should always be considered when the system is initially designed. As with all piping systems, the pipe changes length with changes in temperature. When a piping system is designed without enough directional changes to compensate for expansion or contraction, the movement can affect the performance of the system valves and, in many cases, generate external loads that can cause damage. Generally the system will have many bends in the pipe, minimizing the effects of temperature changes. Products & Services
Pipe fittings cover many components that connect pipe ends for in-line, offset, multi-port, and mounting configurations.

Thermoplastic piping systems in aboveground service must be properly supported
to avoid excessive stresses and sagging. Valves and other heavy piping components
should be individually supported.
