Spherical Moulded Expansion Joints are designed for piping systems to absorb pipe movements, relieve stress, reduce system noise/vibration, compensate for misalignment/offset and to protect rotating mechanical equipment against start-up surge forces. Single sphere bellows are inherently stronger than the conventional hand-built style spool arch type. The spherical design reduces turbulence , sediment build-up and allows smooth, quiet flow.
Internal pressure within a “sphere” is exerted evenly in all directions, distributing forces evenly over a large area The floating metal flanges on the expansion joint freely rotate for easy installation, compensating for mating flange misalignment. Neoprene and Nitrile materials for these expansion joints are all stocked. Contact the factory for alternative lengths.
