Stresses
Expansion joints absorb movement due to thermal expansion and contraction of pipes, wear, load stresses and settling of supports and foundations
Misalignment
Custom expansion joints can be manufactured with offsets to account for installation errors in pipe alignment, or for movement and settling over time
Abrasion
With special elastomers, abrasion can be significantly reduced compared to other rubber or metallic connectors
Vibration
Rubber expansion joints significantly reduce vibration when installed in proper locations and are not subject to metal fatigue failure
Noise
Transmission of sound is reduced as the expansion joint acts as a dampener and absorbs the noise levels
Shock
Effects of pressure surges, water hammer, or pump cavitation are resisted
Corrosion
Go metal to metal contact eliminating electrolysis between dissimilar metals
Space
Greatly reduced space required compared to expansion bends or loops
METAL JOINTS
Olympus Seal and Supply metal expansion joints are expertly designed to effectively accommodate the thermal expansion or contraction of pipes, ducts, and various other types of equipment that are subjected to significant temperature fluctuations, whether from hot or cold fluids. This thermal growth and contraction can pose serious challenges and is one of the primary difficulties encountered when designing interconnecting piping or ducting systems. We’re proud to be your premier expansion joint supplier, committed to providing high-quality solutions for all your needs!
NON-METAL JOINTS
Expansion joints for piping systems are specialized flexible connectors, typically constructed from materials such as PTFE, as well as natural or synthetic elastomers. These joints may incorporate combinations of rubber, fabric, and metal reinforcement to enhance their durability and performance. Expansion joints are strategically installed into piping systems to effectively address a variety of issues, including thermal expansion and contraction, vibration absorption, and system misalignment. Choose us as your trusted rubber expansion joint supplier to ensure high-quality and reliable solutions for your piping needs!
