Is the piping designed or being designed to a code, such as one of the ASME B31 codes?
If so, expansion stress calculations for thermal cycling are presented therein.

Gentlemen,
I would like to know how do you calculate thermal transient stresses in
piping systems. This type of stresses arise during steam system start up
and
shut down; change of pumping product during operation in cryogenic
systems,
etc.
Thanks for your cooperation.
