Flanged rubber expansion joints

Single-sphere rubber expansion joint with galvanised flanges. It takes up axial, lateral and angular pipeline movements and damps vibration and noise from pumps and equipment.

Product information

The body is made of several rubber plies reinforced with textile cord. Its spherical shape takes up thermal expansion and installation misalignment and reduces the transmission of vibration and water hammer. Rubber beads on the ends act as the seal, so no separate gaskets are needed. Flanges are hot-dip galvanised steel, connected to GOST 33259.

Compliance

  • GOST 33259

Advantages

  • Takes up axial, lateral and angular movements
  • Damps vibration and noise from pumps and compressors
  • Fitted without gaskets: the rubber beads seal the joint
  • Galvanised flanges resist corrosion
  • Rubber matched to the medium: water, wastewater, air, oils, weak acids and alkalis

Construction

  1. 1Outer coverWeather-, ozone- and abrasion-resistant rubber showing the cord winding. About 12 mm thick.
  2. 2Reinforcing cordTextile cord plies (2–4) hold the pressure; the sphere takes up axial, lateral and angular movements.
  3. 3Inner liningLeak-tight rubber chosen for the medium (EPDM, NBR, etc.). About 7 mm thick.
  4. 4Sealing beadsThe rubber ends act as the gasket, so no separate gaskets are fitted.
  5. 5FlangesHot-dip galvanised steel, connected to GOST 33259.
