Excerpt from Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineering, Vol. 70: December, 1910 In the arrangement of steam piping (or other piping, the tempera ture of which is subject to considerable change), proper allowance must be made for expansion. Where the change in temperature, and hence the amount of expansion, is small, the stress may come well within the elastic limit of the metal. In such cases, of course, special arrange ments to care for the expansion may not be required. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
