Rubber expansion joints are flexible connectors fabricated of nature rubber or synthetic elastomers, steel ring and fabrics, and when necessary, metallic reinforcements provide stress relief in piping systems due to thermal and mechanical vibration and/or movements. DEVEL® Rubber Expansion Joints provide relief from stresses caused by thermal expansion and contraction in pipelines. Movement is always experienced in piping systems due to varying ambient temperatures, differences in temperature of materials handled, and differences in composition. Expansion joints absorb this movement and eliminate the danger of buckling or pulling apart with the high replacement costs that would result.
DEVEL ® Engineers can solve anticipated problems of vibration, noise, shock, corrosion, abrasion, stresses and space by incorporating rubber expansion joints into designed piping systems.
DEVEL Series MX602 double sphere are designed for piping systems to absorb pipe movements, relieve stress, reduce system noise/vibration, compensate for misalignment/offset and to protect rotating mechanical equipment against start-up surge forces. The DEVEL Series MX602 rubber expansion joint can be made from different rubber materials depending on media and application. They are designed to take up axial, lateral, angular and torsional movements along with vibrations in piping.
Some of the notable features and benefits of the DEVEL Series MX602 are:
Superior noise and vibration control
Easy Installation with Rotating Metallic Flanges
Wide Range of Flange Materials Available
Wide Range of Service and Lighter Weight
Most economical flexible connector
Large inventory means quick shipment
