Today I discovered that if I have a pipe subject to own weight and thermal load due to temperature (dilation), these two loads are never combined in a single load combination.

there is a combination called "sustained" that combines weight+pressure (pressure in my influential case
and a call "expansion" that takes into account the only thermal expansions.

Can someone explain why? If my pipe is subject (for the whole life) to own weight (obvious) and thermal load, should not be combined together and find the stresses? Sorry, I'm not getting there.

Thanks :finger:
