Rubber expansion joint, also known as rubber soft joint, rubber compensator, is a key component used in pipeline systems to absorb displacement, reduce vibration and noise.
Main functions
1.Displacement compensation: absorb axial, lateral or angular displacement caused by thermal expansion and contraction and mechanical vibration of the pipeline.
2.Vibration reduction and noise reduction: reduce the noise transmitted by fluid impact and mechanical vibration through the elasticity of rubber.
3.Sealing and leakproof: flexible connection can avoid leakage caused by pipeline misalignment.
4.Stress relief: reduce stress concentration caused by pipeline installation error or foundation settlement.
Structural composition
Rubber material: usually natural rubber (NR), chloroprene rubber (CR), nitrile rubber (NBR), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), etc., selected according to the characteristics of the medium.
Reinforcement layer: multi-layer polyester cord or steel wire skeleton to improve pressure bearing capacity.
Flange: carbon steel, stainless steel or PVC flange, used to connect pipelines.
Anti-pull-off device (optional): limit bolt or pull rod to prevent damage due to over-displacement.
