ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping Thermal Expansion

Calculate ASME B31.5 refrigeration piping thermal expansion from table 519.3.1 (SI units).

For temperatures outside the data range, thermal expansion is extrapolated with constant slope from the end points.

thermal expansion from 21 degrees C base temperature to the design temperature is interpolated from the table. The calculations include : thermal expansion from the design base temperature to the design temperature, the expansion coefficient at the design temperature, and the mean expansion coefficient and elongation from the design base temperature to the design temperature.

Use the data plot option to plot thermal expansion versus temperature for the selected material. Use the Data Table option to display the data table in the popup window. Change units on the setup page. Use the workbook ASME B31.5 data tables to look up thermal expansion data.
