Rubber Expansion Joint is a flexible connector made of natural or synthetic rubber and reinforced with fabric or metal. It compensates for movements caused by temperature fluctuations, vibrations, or misalignments in pipelines. These joints are essential for reducing stress on pipes and extending the life of equipment.
Types of Rubber Expansion Joints
Single Arch Expansion Joints
These are the most common type, designed for general applications where small movements need to be absorbed.
Multiple Arch Expansion Joints
Used when greater flexibility and movement are required, often in complex piping systems.
Sleeve and Spool Types
These joints are ideal for systems that demand high-pressure resistance.
Flanged Rubber Expansion Joints
Featuring flanges for secure attachment, they are widely used in HVAC and water treatment systems.
