Scale Model Tests for High Pressure High Temperature Steam Piping

Abstract

Apparatus has been constructed by which the end reactions, caused by given end displacements of model pipes that contain branches, can be determined. Two model pipe systems are studied. The accuracy and usability of the apparatus are discussed. Changes of end reactions caused by small rotations of the pipe ends, are shown. Displacements of any point along the pipe axis, caused by thermal expansion absorbed between fixed ends, can be easily measured.
