The most common design types for expansion joints include metal, rubber, or PTFE bellows, as well as configurations for axial, lateral, and angular movements. Other variations feature reinforced compensators, high-pressure-resistant models, and joints designed to absorb vibrations and thermal expansions.
Expansion joints are indispensable components in industrial systems, designed to manage movements and mechanical stresses caused by variations in temperature, pressure, or load. They are widely used in pipelines, HVAC systems, power plants, and chemical facilities, providing a reliable solution to prevent structural failures and reduce vibrations.
