Abstract

In a subterranean heat insulated pipe system as laid with angellike bendings between straight pipe lengths, i.e. a district heating pipe underneath a street angle, the conventional bending elements are substituted by pipe elements joined so as to form a bending run of a relatively large bending radius, which, depending of the pipe size, has a minimum value, by which the pipe bending by itself and by interaction with the earth is able to take up the expansion and contraction forces, which are created in the pipe in response to temperature changes therein. The said minimum value has been found to be so low that in many instances it is hereby possible to avoid the sharp bending elements with their associated heavy problems due to expansion effects.
