A Rubber Expansion Joint is a flexible connector to absorb noise, shock, vibration, physical and thermal energy. Made of natural or synthetic elastomers it may be internally reinforced with fabrics and metal for strength and pressure resistance whilst metal reinforcement may be used externally for movement control and a Rubber Expansion Joint offer flexibility allowing concurrent movements, isolation of vibration, reduction of noise, resistance to abrasion and chemical erosion within fluid systems and Rubber Expansion Joints are widely used in various applications:
• Air conditioning, heating and ventilating systems in industrial buildings and vessels
• Central and ancillary power generating stations in industrial buildings, factories, ships and off-shore applications
• Sewage disposal and water treatment plant, pumps, etc.
• Process piping in pulp and paper plants
• Piping systems for chilled or hot water in industrial plants
• Cooling systems for power generation
• Feed water and draining lines for water works, sewage, sanitary piping systems etc.
• Oil lines for industrial plants, shipyards, phosphate plants etc.
• Potable water applications.
• Food applications.
