When To Use Expansion Joints
Expansion joints are defined as a device containing one or more metal bellows used to absorb dimensional changes such as those caused by thermal expansion or contraction of a pipe-line, duct, or vessel.
Expansion joints are typically used for axial and lateral movement to provide extension, compression, and movement parallel to flow in a pipeline.
Expansion Joint Capabilities
There are a few misconceptions about using expansion joints. We’re here to clarify how we can customize and build an optimal solution.
- A multiple-ply pump connector can be more pliable than a short braided hose
- Bellows can be joined together to create universal expansion joints to handle larger unilateral movements
- Expansion joints can be more expensive, but they are designed to last for years
- Multi-ply expansion joints have excellent vibration and sound dampening properties
