Description

Product details

Universal tied expansion joints contain two bellows separated by a pipe spool with tie rods designed to withstand the pressure thrust force. These expansion joints are generally designed to accommodate lateral movement only. A universal expansion joint can be designed to have a very low lateral spring force to minimize forces on adjacent equipment. Large offset movements are possible in a universal assembly by increasing the distance between the two bellows. A two tie rod design can also accept angular deflection in a single plane. Features: · Absorbs large amounts of lateral movement · Unit length does not change with thermal expansion · Withstand the pressure thrust force Types of Movement: · Large lateral deflection · Angular rotation
