Default Problem of dilatation or retraction

Hello

After having read the answers to my question about loop on fuel pipe, I have spoke with a friend who works in nuclear domain.
He explained me that the aim of the loop on fuel pipe was to compensate the dilatation of the iron. In NORTH AFRICA we have to "play" with a difference of at least 60 degres CELCIUS between a hot day in the desert under the sun and the coldness of the night. I think that it's explanation should be right

Regards Serge
