Rubber joints reduce pipeline vibration and noise, and can compensate for thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. The rubber material used varies according to the medium, such as natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, EPDM, neoprene, silicone rubber, fluorine rubber and so on. Respectively have the functions of heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and oil resistance.
The advantage of rubber expansion joint
Advantage1 | Small size, light weight, good flexibility, easy installation and maintenance. |
Advantage2 | After installation, it can absorb the horizontal, axial and angular displacement caused by the vibration of the pipeline; it is not restricted by the non-concentricity of the pipeline and the non-parallel flanges. |
Advantage3 | After installation, it can reduce the noise generated by the vibration of pipes, pumps, etc., and has a strong vibration absorption capacity. |
