angular pipe expansion joint / rubber / for the chemical industry

Angular rubber expansion joints

Structure: Rubber bellows with tie bar and flanges. The centre of rotation, of the tie bar, is located in the centre of the bellows.

Movement absorption: Angular movements of the expansion joint are absorbed. The angular joints regulate a defined angular movement, absorb axial stresses and relieve the load on the pipeline fixed points. A distinction is made between hinged angular expansion joints (angular movement of the bellows is diverted on one level) and cardan-joint angular expansion joints (angular movement of the bellows is diverted on two levels). Angular expansion joints, with distance pipe, are used to absorb significant movements.

Fixed points: Only light fixed points are required to absorb angular displacement and friction forces.
