Rubber Expansion Bellows - Easyflex

1 Bellows &. Expansion Joints For big relief from stress at pipe flanges! Expansion Joints or Compensators are flexible Rubber elements (combined with metal and/or textile reinforcements) useful for conveying fluids and absorbing movements between sections or pipeline. With a correct design they are able to absorb axial, lateral and angular movements offering both safety and insulation against noise and vibrations. Floating flange Single Arch Double Arch We offer the market the most comprehensive selection of Rubber Expansion joints, covering the widest range of applications and dimension.

To achieve good results do not over load fitting more than designed parameters as per drawing / catalogue. Compliance - As per FSA Standards USA. 15. How A Rubber Expansion Joint works The purpose of an Expansion Joint in general, regardless of design or materials of construction, is to provide a point of flexibility in a piping or duct system in order to absorb the growth of the piping due to thermal changes in the media and/or the environment, and to absorb the dynamic movements of machinery, buildings and structures that the piping is attached to or a part of.

4 The Rubber Expansion Joint, because of the non-metallic AXIAL. nature of its construction, offers the piping and ductwork compression designer advantages within the temperature and pressure ranges of these joints, which cannot be matched by all metal Expansion , joints. Consisting of flanged ends and a flexible section, much the same as a flanged metal Bellows , the Rubber Expansion joint can absorb within its free length more movements, particularly lateral, than any other joint of similar overall size and pressure rating. AXIAL. The flexible section of a Rubber Expansion Joints is most extension often a single convolution, which, because of the inherent flexibility of the materials, can accept large lateral movements with low force, a phenomena which requires multiple convolutions in metal Bellows .

5 During axial and angular movements, the Rubber convolution deflects much the same way that the metal convolution does. The limits of these motions are determined by the geometric shape and size of the convolution and the inherent pressure resisting capacity of the design. LATERAL. shear or perpendicular to centerline The manner in which the pressure loads are resisted in a Rubber Expansion Joint is the major difference between Rubber and Metal Bellows . Circumferential (hoop) loads due to pressure are carried by the convolution itself in metallic Bellows . In a Rubber Expansion Joint, the convolution is basically incapable of resisting pressure by itself, but is supported by the adjacent Rubber tube with its internal fabric and/or fabric - metal reinforcing, or by the attachment flanges themselves.

6 All Easyflex Units have integrally molded flanges, sized ANGULAR. and drilled to match standard flanges. All Rubber bending of the centerline Expansion Joints require metallic split retaining rings behind the flanges to back up protect the Rubber integral flange . Control rods must be used to protect Expansion joints from excessive movement if piping system is not properly anchored and are normally recommended for most piping installations. TORSIONAL. rotation about the centerline, twist Due to policy of continual improvement, the specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
