Thermal growth

MISTAKE #1 – Ignoring Thermal Growth of Static Equipment In this real-world engineering lesson, we explore how a seemingly correct stress analysis model can produce misleading results when equipment thermal growth is ignored. Many engineers focus on pipe expansion but forget that vessels, columns, and heat exchangers also move during operation. Every millimeter matters.
