Rubber expansion joints for industrial piping systems<\/strong><\/p>

Rubber expansion joints are used within industrial piping systems for absorbing movements, vibrations and stresses caused by thermal influences and mechanical loads.
<\/p>

Due to their flexible properties, rubber expansion joints contribute to protecting piping systems and connected equipment against damage and stresses within the installation.<\/p>

Protection against vibrations and stresses<\/strong><\/p>

Rubber expansion joints compensate for axial, lateral and angular movements within piping systems.
<\/p>

In addition, they are used for absorbing vibrations originating from machines, pumps, compressors and other installations.
<\/p>

Stresses and misalignments occurring during installation can also be absorbed.<\/p>

Different materials and versions<\/strong><\/p>

Depending on the application, rubber expansion joints are available in different materials, including:
<\/p>

  • EPDM<\/li>
  • Neoprene<\/li>
  • Nitrile<\/li>
  • Hypalon\u00ae<\/li>
  • PTFE<\/li>
  • Viton\u00ae<\/li>
  • Butyl<\/li><\/ul>

    In addition, different versions are possible with, among others, flanges, couplings, tie rods and PTFE lining.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Suitable for a wide range of media and process conditions<\/strong><\/p>

    Rubber expansion joints are suitable for applications involving a wide range of liquids and gases.
    <\/p>

    Depending on the material selection, solutions can be tailored to temperature, pressure and media resistance within the process.
    <\/p>

    In addition, the expansion joints feature high resistance to overpressure and shock loads.<\/p>

    Applications within industry and utilities<\/strong><\/p>

    Rubber expansion joints are used within a wide range of industrial and utility applications, including:<\/p>

    • Air conditioning systems<\/li>
    • Cooling water and condensate pipelines<\/li>
    • Heating systems<\/li>
    • Chemical installations<\/li>
    • Marine applications<\/li>
    • Pump connections<\/li><\/ul>

      Compact and flexible solutions<\/strong><\/p>

      Rubber expansion joints are characterised by their compact construction, flexibility and relatively low weight.
      <\/p>

      This makes them suitable for applications where movement absorption and vibration damping are important within limited installation spaces.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":6343,"parent":5859,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-5863","producten","type-producten","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/producten\/5863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/producten"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/producten"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/producten\/5863\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5864,"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/producten\/5863\/revisions\/5864"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/producten\/5859"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/profiltra.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
