axial strain

Refers to the elongation or compression of the pipeline along its longitudinal axis. It occurs when the pipeline is subjected to forces that cause it to stretch or contract in the direction of its length. Axial strainRefers to the elongation or compression of the pipeline along its longitudinal axis. It occurs when the pipeline is subjected to forces that cause it to stretch… is typically induced by thermal expansion, pressure changes, or changes in pipe alignment due to ground movement.
