Key Features:
1. Double Flange Connection:
• Equipped with flanges on both ends for easy installation and
secure connection to
pipes, valves, or equipment.
2. Limit Rods or Tie Bars:
• Includes rods or bars that control the joint’s expansion and
contraction within a
pre-determined range, protecting the system from excessive movement
and damage.
3. Flexibility:
• Allows axial movement (expansion or compression), lateral
displacement, and sometimes
angular deflection, depending on the design.
4. Material Construction:
• Typically made from ductile iron, carbon steel, stainless steel,
or composite materials. The
seals or gaskets are often made of elastomers like EPDM, NBR, or
PTFE to ensure a
leak-proof connection.
5. Corrosion Resistance:
• Coated with epoxy, rubber lining, or other protective layers to
withstand harsh environmental
conditions.
