How does an Expansion joint work?

The Expansion joints are installed in a piping system to absorb the vibration sound and shock. They also have benefits such as reducing the noise and compensation caused by misalignment. If the temperature of the pipe increases, the metal expansion joint compresses to compensate for the movement and reduce stress from the pipe. An Expansion joint is known as a movement joint is an assembly designed to hold the parts together while safely absorbing the temperature-induced by the expansion and contraction of building materials, and vibration, or to allow the movement due to ground settling a mantic project.

When to use Expansion Joints?

The Expansion Joints are more effective than the different pipe that bends and pipe loops due to their greater ability to conserve space, their economic efficiency, and better performance in absorbing larger movements. These benefits are underline why and when to use an expansion joint.

What is expansion joint material?

Expansion joint material is a product used to fill, seal, fire rate, or provide change over an expansion joint. An expansion joint is a gap designed as a building element to accommodate the movement.

How to install the Expansion Joint?

Make necessary adjustments to the flange before welding. Install the joint with an arrow pointing in the direction of flow. Install the single Van stone liner and point in the direction of flow.

When the expansion is the joint needed?

These joints need to be carefully designed, located, and installed. If a slab is positioned continuously on the surfaces exceeding one face, an expansion joint will be necessary to reduce the stresses.
