Axial Type - Lateral Type Expansion Joints

Date Added: 2020-01-29 01:01:41

Axial expansion joints aim to absorb the axial expansions.

• They do not change the direction of the flow
• Additional assemblage distance is not necessary
• Dividing the pipeline helps to prevent stress of lateral forces

Movement Absorption

Axial shift and slight all-around movement of the expansion joint is possible. Axial expansion joints with two bellows are used to absorb larger movements.

Advantages of Axial Expansion Joints

• Easy to absorb the expansion movements
• No direction changes of the flow
• Minimum application area
• Possible lateral and angular expansion absorption by the additional bellows.
• To provide a non-stressed area where the pressure is not too high such as pump and compressor applications.
• Low application costs
