Movements In Industrial
Piping [top]
Axial Compression |
Longitudinal movement shortens face-to-face dimension along axis of expansion joint / flexible coupling Pipe flanges remain perpendicular to axis |
Axial Elongation |
Longitudinal movement lengthens face-to-face dimension along axis of expansion joint / flexible coupling Pipe flanges remain perpendicular to axis |
Torsional Movement |
Rotation of one flange with stationary counterpart Simultaneous rotation of flanges in opposing motion |
Lateral / Transverse Movement |
Offset movement of one/both pipe flanges both flanges remain parallel to each other while forming angle to axis of joint |
Angular Movement |
Deflection/rotation of one or both flanges Angle with axis of expansion joint/flexible coupling is formed |
Vibration |
By definition : oscillation movement around axis of expansion joint/flexible coupling Pipe flanges remain parallel with each other Flanges remain perpendicular to axis Mechanical vibration in steel piping system reduced with installation of pipe connectors/expansion joints |
