Reducing expansion joint

Concentric or eccentric reducing expansion joint

  • Design: Concentric or eccentric reducing rubber bellows with full faced rubber flanges, designed to compensate all-directional movements, have a cycle life in the tens of millions, constructed with a highgrade leak-proof tube, multiple layers of high-strength cord, a seamless cover, and single- or multi-part backing flanges. At high pressure, large diameters and extreme reductions with self-sealing rubber bulge and single-part swivel backing flange at the large diameter. In compliance with PED 2014/68/EU, FSA Technical Handbook and ASTM F1123 - 87.
  • Diameters: 80 to 1,600 mm, custom diameters possible
  • Length: Standard LE = 150 to 2,150 mm (> page 128–129), Custom length on request
  • Pressure: Up to 10 bar depending on diameter and length
  • Movement: For small axial and lateral movements

Backing flanges

  • Design: Single- or multi-part round backing flanges with clearance holes, For high pressure, large diameters and extreme reductions, single-part round swivel backing flange with clearance holes and a groove to accept a rubber bulge at the large diameter
  • Flange norms: DIN, EN, ANSI, AWWA, BS, JIS, special measurements
  • Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminium
  • Coating: Primed, hot-dip galvanised, special paint

Accessories

  • Tie rods: Tie rods mounted outside in spherical bearings and ball disks to take up the thrust forces from pressure
