This type of bellows protects equipment’s and piping from damage caused by vibration and thermal movements and accommodate equipment misalignments. It provides superior flexibility, movement absorption, and cycle life, while resisting chemical attack and abrasion. It is useful over a wide range of temperatures & pressures, making them the preferred expansion joint for most liquid and slurry applications, though gases & solids are also frequently conveyed by rubber expansion joints.
Applications of Rubber Expansion Joint :
Rubber Expansion Joint |
Made from natural or synthetic rubbers, |
Provides better flexibility with less spring force |
Absorbs vibrations as well as reduce noise |
Used for axial, lateral and angular movements |
Used for transporting fluids, slurries, water, waste and gases at elevated pressure |
There are several parameters required to design a Rubber Expansion Joint:
