The temperature resistance of expansion joints varies depending on the type of material they are made of. The maximum working temperature of rubber expansion joints depends on the type of rubber they are made of and reaches +150C. PTFE (Teflon) expansion joints have a higher allowable working temperature, which depending on the operating pressure, can [...]
The allowable working pressure of expansion joints may vary greatly and depends on several factors. Generally, it varies with the material of a bellow. The bellow is a flexible element in the expansion joint. Factors such as the size and working temperature of the expansion joint or the type of medium flowing through it, are [...]
Expansion joints, regardless of their type and material, are essentially designed to:- absorb thermal expansion, which is caused by the medium flowing through a pipeline,- eliminate or reduce movement and vibrations,- reduce structural and assembly stress,- facilitate installation of pipeline components and fittings.Therefore, once they are installed in the system, the expansion joints act to [...]
