Kannappan’s Golden Rule: A pipe can often withstand high thermal stress if the range of movement is small. But high sustained stress is always deadly. Introduction to Pipe Stress Analysis

Pipes do not just sit still. They cycle: start up (hot), shut down (cold), or fluctuate in pressure. Kannappan emphasizes that even if a pipe doesn't break immediately, cyclic expansion/contraction acts like bending a paperclip back and forth. Eventually, it snaps due to .
