Rubber Expansion Joints

Rubber expansion joints are flexible units made of natural or synthetic elastomers or fluoroplastics and, if required, internally reinforced with metal to provide stress relief in piping systems due to thermal movement and mechanical vibration. Rubber expansion joints are the perfect solution for absorbing movements, vibrations, or noise in piping systems, significantly extending the lifespan of piping engineering and connecting equipment.

According to the use area of rubber expansion joints, there are a variety of material choices. Rubber expansion joints also have the advantages and disadvantages of metal expansion joints. Rubber expansion joints can absorb large movements over a short distance. They provide movement in all directions, such as axial, angular, lateral, and torsional, which can occur under external conditions. It also reduces wind, shock loads, and seismic movements.
