An expansion loop is a piping arrangement that allows for pipe movement due to temperature changes, preventing damage to the piping system. There are different types of expansion loops that accommodate movement in various ways. Proper design, installation, and placement of expansion loops are important to mitigate stresses on pipes and ensure the integrity and functioning of piping systems.
