Expansion joint process Expansion joint process is a process that connects pipes, valves, or other pipe fittings together, which can absorb and compensate for the vibration and displacement generated by the pipeline during operation, thereby reducing damage to equipment.
The basic principle of the expansion joint process is to install an elastomer between two pipe fittings, which can be deformed with the vibration and displacement of the pipe, thereby absorbing vibration and displacement and reducing the shock and vibration of the pipe fittings. In addition, expansion joints can compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of pipes, thus avoiding stress concentrations and ruptures of pipes.
The expansion joint process has a wide range of applications, and it can be used in various pipeline systems, such as pipeline connections in petroleum, chemical, electric power, construction and other fields. In industrial production, the application of expansion joint technology can effectively reduce equipment damage and maintenance costs, and improve production efficiency.
The exact implementation of the expansion joint process varies depending on the material, diameter, working pressure, and environment in which the pipe is used. Therefore, when selecting an expansion joint, it is necessary to select and design it according to the specific situation.
Overall, the expansion joint process is a very useful process, which can effectively protect equipment and pipelines and improve production efficiency. In the future industrial production, the expansion joint process will be more widely used.
