Simple Loop1

This document appears to be calculations for expansion loops on three different sized pipes. It includes inputs like pipe diameter, wall thickness, bend radius, loop height and width, guide spacing, and material properties. It then shows the calculations for properties like pipe inertia, flexibility factor, centroid of inertia, bending moment, stress, guide force, and anchor load. It notes the stress is too high for one of the pipes and includes notes about default and maximum suggested values.
