[0014] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a U-shaped expansion joint for the reconstruction of an external pipe gallery gas condensate pipeline comprises a gas condensate pipeline 1, a U-shaped pipe 2, a hoop pipe 3, a limit pipe 4, and an expansion joint 5. The U-shaped pipe 2 is installed in the middle of the gas condensate pipeline 1, the hoop pipe 3 is respectively installed in the middle of the side ends of the front and rear risers of the U-shaped pipe 2, the limit pipe 4 is respectively radially fixed to the inner side of the side end of the hoop pipe 3, and the expansion joint 5 is installed in the middle of the U-shaped pipe 2.
