Construction and movement absorption
Metal expansion joints for heavy industrial applications
Metal expansion joints are used within industrial piping systems where high temperatures, high pressures and severe process conditions occur.
Profiltra supplies metal expansion joints in a wide range of designs, dimensions and materials for applications within industrial installations and process environments.
Absorption of thermal expansion and vibrations
Metal expansion joints are used for absorbing movements caused by thermal expansion of pipelines.
In addition, they are suitable for compensating misalignments and vibrations within piping systems and installations.
Depending on the application, axial, lateral, hinged, gimbal and angular versions are available, among others.
Different designs and materials
Metal expansion joints are available in both round and rectangular versions and in a wide range of steel grades and alloys.
Depending on the application, solutions can be tailored to media, temperature, pressure and chemical resistance requirements.
