Technical Specifications
Design and Operating Principle
Single sphere rubber expansion joint designs are optimized with a flexible elastomer single-bellows body structure to absorb movements occurring in piping systems.
The flexible body structure dampens thermal expansion, vibration, and mechanical loads, reducing stresses on both piping and equipment connections while also helping to lower noise levels.
Flanged connections enable quick installation, while the lightweight and compact design allows easy use in space-restricted systems.
