Series 9500 Copper Tube
Alignment Guide


Series 9500
Alignment Guides

Hyspan Series 9500 Alignment Guides are designed to be installed adjacent to expansion joints and loops, and as intermediate guides in steel pipe and copper tube runs to maintain the centerline of the pipe/tube.

Pipe or copper tube systems that incorporate expansion joints, ball joints or loops to absorb expansion must include three major elements:main and/or intermediate anchors, supports and alignment guides. Main anchors are required in systems that include unrestrained expansion joints to react pressure thrust, the expansion joint spring or friction force and the friction force of the guides and supports. Intermediate anchors are required in systems where pressure thrust is restrained but the expansion joint or loop spring or friction force and guide and support friction forces must be reacted. Supports must be designed to react the weight of the pipe/tube and media. Alignment guides are required to maintain the pipe/tube centerline axial to expansion joints and throughout the intermediate portion of the run to prevent buckling.

The alignment guides requirements for Hyspan products are given in the Applications section of each product catalog. These requirements follow the Standards of the Expansion Joint Manufactures Association, Inc. Expansion joints that do not include internal guides require an alignment guide to be located 4 diameters from the face of the expansion joint, and an additional guide 14 diameters from the first guide. Expansion joints with internal guides require only one alignment guide to be located 10-14 diameters from the expansion joint.

The maximum alignment guide spacing in the intermediate portion of the run is a function of the pipe/tube properties (modulus of elasticity and moment of inertia), the design pressure, and the expansion joint effective area and spring force. Refer to the Applications section of Hyspan expansion joint catalogs for the individual product guiding requirements.
