Movement absorption and expansion joint types
Expansion joints for industrial piping systems
Expansion joints are used within industrial piping systems to absorb movements, vibrations and stresses caused by process conditions.
Temperature changes can cause pipes to expand or contract. In addition, pumps, compressors, motors and other installations can transfer vibrations to the piping system. If these movements are not absorbed, this can lead to deformation, stress or leakage.
Profiltra supplies expansion joints for a wide range of industrial applications and piping systems.
Absorption of movements within piping systems
Expansion joints are used to compensate for different types of movement within piping systems, including:
- Axial movements
- Lateral movements
- Angular movements
Depending on the application, process conditions and installation requirements, the correct type of expansion joint can be selected.
