Technical Specifications
Design and Operating Principle
Full face rubber expansion joint designs are optimized with an elastomer body that fully covers the flange face, ensuring high sealing performance.
The flexible elastomer structure absorbs thermal expansion, vibration, and mechanical movements, reducing stresses on piping and equipment connections. It also helps dampen vibration generated by pumps and valves.
Thanks to the full face design, bolt hole alignment becomes easier and secure installation is achieved without the need for additional gaskets.
Performance Advantages
- Provides high sealing performance
- Eliminates the need for additional gaskets
- Compensates for flange face tolerances
- Facilitates alignment during installation
- Reduces vibration and noise
- Protects piping systems and equipment connections
- Absorbs thermal stresses
- Long service life
