EXPANSION JOINTS

ECONFLEX  MODEL 70  e MOD.72

 10 ADVANTAGEOUS FEATURES  FOR USING OUR  FLEXIBLE RUBBER JOINTS:

1)    Absorption of vibrations, noises  and shocks

2)     Easy to install, easy to remove.

3)    Security assured in usage: the  special spherical shape of its body  in rubber  allows the  absorption of expansions.

4)      Higher burst strenght: spherical shape is stronger than  cylindrical shape  or other configuration. Thus , under pressure, this joint is 4 times as strong as a cylindrical joint. Additionally, our products are made of  best suitable material, and hence their burst pressure is much higher than those of other makes.

5)    Suitable for suction and discharge: owing to its excellent molding technique with its tough chemical fiber, this joint can satisfactorily withstand the suction and discharge. Vacuum rating can stand up to 750 mmHg.

6)    High efficiency: these joints streamlined, flowing arch to reduce turbulence, sediment build-up, thrust area and the effects of thrust on the piping system equipment.

7)    Low deformation  : internal pressure is exerted in all directions distributing forces evenly over a large area. Hence, the deformation of this joint is much lower than that of the other makers.

8)    Light and compact: the space required for the installation of this joint is about half of the requirement of cylindrical. Weight is about one third.

9)    Greater movements are available: axial compression and elongation, deflection and angular movements will be greater.

10)  Wide service range : made with chemical resistant elastomers such as Neoprene, Nitrile, EPDM insure a product compatible with the fluid being pumped or piped. Operate up to 15 bar and –10°c to 115°c.

STAINLESS STEEL EXPANSION JOINTS    MODEL 63  -  MODEL 66

Elbow joints are the most modern and  safest way for the absorption of expansions  or vibrations - in various plants - to avoid tensils that can damage  the good working of the plant and its life.

They don’t need any maintenance, they match a great elasticity  with a high resistance to the pressure .

The standard joints are made  with bellows  in stainless steel (A182F304 –316 –321) and fittings or end flanges in carbon steel.

The bellows are multi-walled seamless circumferential.

STAINLESS STEEL EXPANSION JOINTS    MOD. JF 500

The joint JF500 is an innovative  product.

It solves the problems caused by the thermal expansions in the pipes.

The efficiency of this product has been recognized by the International engineering.

Max pressure: 10 bars ( with vibrations)

                          16 bars (constant)

Temperature:   -50°C + 450°C

The  fluid is in contact with the bellows- free of welds and scale, which, therefore allows a long life.

SILENCER JOINTS FIG.80

The silencer joint  “FLEX” reduces vibrations and can be combined with a flange UNI PN 6 and  UNI PN 10.

The body in rubber EPDM is suitable  till 100°c and a pressure of  10 bars.

Dimensions: from  DN 20 to DN 200.

 PRINCIPAL ADVANTAGES: 

-          Compact shape

-          Easy to install

-         Contact faces vulcanized, that therefore don’t require any seals for the coupling.

FEATURES

The flanges are internally vulcanized in the rubber  body of high elasticity, that allows also the  electrical insulation. These silencer joints are normally used for water , weak acids and other salts at a temperature of + 20 +120°C.

WAYS TO INSTALL AND USE:

The pipes should be secured with appropriate supports (fixed points)and mating flanges should be perfectly aligned.

We suggest to  use hexagonal bolts in the specified length and to include also washers to make sure the  coupling and the operation ( too long bolts will damage the body in rubber).It is necessary to compress the flanges right to the body by bolts.

The joints should be controlled each year and they should be carefully checked or substituted every  4/5 years.

It is also useful to apply  an insulating solution. The silencer assures a good  thermal insulation.

No substance that can damage the rubber should be added to the water in the heating system.
