Heavy-Duty Gland Expansion Joint DN1400 for Coke Oven Gas Infrastructure
Project Overview:
Engineering and 3D modeling of a large-scale gland-type expansion joint for a primary coke oven gas pipeline (1420 x 10 mm DIA). Designed for high-temperature environments and aggressive chemical media in heavy industrial facilities.
Key Engineering Features:
Thermal Expansion Management: Engineered to compensate for significant axial movements in large-diameter piping systems, ensuring structural integrity during thermal cycles.
Sealing System: Designed a robust adjustable packing gland system to prevent leakage of hazardous coke oven gas under operational pressure.
Design for Manufacturing (DfM): Developed full technical documentation for steel fabrication, including precise flange alignments and sliding surface tolerances.
Field Integration: Based on real-world site conditions and infrastructure audits, bridging the gap between legacy industrial assets and modern digital twins.
Deliverables:
Complete 3D assembly (SolidWorks), technical drawings, and material specifications for heavy industrial deployment.
