Stuffing-box expansion joint
The stuffing-box expansion joint is the most reliable, time-tested engineering device for absorbing the thermal expansion and contraction of metal (thermal deformation) on high-temperature trunk pipelines.
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.
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.
