Rubber Expansion joints
Rubber expansion joints enable different types of piping to carry fluids under pressure at certain temperatures by compensating for vibrations and axial/angular displacements in an entirely flexible manner.
Benefits of using rubber expansion joints:
- Reduction stresses due to thermal changes with axial, lateral and angular movements.
- Absorption of vibrations and expansions/contractions of pipelines.
- Attenuation noise from pumping fluids in pipes; they have a high acoustic damping capacity.
- Minimal axial overall dimensions and limited weight.
- Low deformation forces required
- High fatigue and corrosion resistance.
- No gaskets required for installation
- EPDM, NBR, Hypalon bellow – nylon reinforcement mesh – temperatures: -10,
- +80 °C, vacuum rings for negative pressure up to 660 mm Hg (0,88 bar), tie rods.
