The Effects Of Thermal Expansion and Contraction On Pipes: Time Lapse

Curious about how much change happens on pipes when subjected to extreme temperature changes on a day to day basis? In this time lapse video, you will clearly see the movement movement that happens underneath a steel pipe as it is subjected to hot and cold temperature in the span of a few days.
Observe the white line on the pipe and the MIRO roller device underneath it. At the beginning of the video, the lines are perfectly aligned, but as time passes, you will notice the white line on the roller device move from side to side. And while the discrepancy may look small and insignificant, consider that you are seeing only ONE pipe in this example. Imagine how much movement and pressure your roof is subjected to given the number of pipes you have installed. Without proper pipe support, thermal expansion can cause a lot of damage to your roof over time.

The hell you live where it goes from 150 to 50° in a day?

It’s the product in the pipe that changes temperatures.
