How to install PE pressure systems
Group 1b: Above ground systems without linear compensation
Pipe systems can also be installed without special thermal linear compensation. Pipe systems in which linear movement is impeded must pay special attention to the tensile and compressive stresses that occur, as well as to forces at fixed points. Exposed plastic pipes that are rigidly or firmly clamped (e.g. on a pipe bridge) can be exposed to large temperature variations. For this reason, calculations can be used in individual cases to test the expected stresses in order to determine if linear compensation can be excluded.
