RUBBER EXPANSION COMPENSATORS ALSO CALLED JOINTS
Wide-arch rubber expansion joints are designed to absorb large all-direction movements, reduce noise and vibration, have a cycle life in the tens of millions, compensate for misalignments, provide access to piping and equipment, and relieve tension on pipes and anchors . Its spool-type body is constructed with solid rubber flanges, a high-quality watertight tube, multiple layers of high-strength tire cords, high-strength steel reinforcements, a seamless cover, and cast-in retaining rings. hot-dip galvanized steel. This construction, as a self-contained expansion joint, represents the most economical arrangement when used in rigid piping systems with main anchors (MA) and numerous specifically spaced guides. Control units can be connected externally or internally and used as limit bars for secondary containment,
