Thermal Expansion Calculator

The document provides information about determining the required length of expansion shoes for a carbon steel pipe with a length of 20m and diameter of 3 inches that is subjected to a design temperature of 100°C and ambient temperature of -41.5°C. It lists the pipe material as carbon steel, the coefficient of expansion as 1.57 mm/m, and calculates the thermal expansion as 31.34mm and minimum shoe length required as 262.68mm. It also lists the minimum expansion arm length as 1.98m.
