Expansion joints designed and manufactured for pumping stations in Egypt.
On this occasion, BIKAR has obtained a contract for the design, manufacture and delivery of metallic expansion joints for important pumping stations. The characteristics of the expansion joints supplied were the following:

Model: BF PPS – Custom-made solution
DN 2200 and DN2500
Bellows material: EPDM
Fluid: Water, max. 80ºC
Length : 400mm
Carbon steel flanges, hot dip galvanized

These expansion joints are equipment designed to handle large diameters and compensate for movements and deformations in large piping systems. These joints are used to absorb the different movements existing in the line together with supporting the efforts of the pressure. Depending on the installation of their control units or cables, they will have one use or another.

Expansion joints of this size and length are commonly used in industries such as power, petrochemical or water, where fluids are transported on a large scale. Due to their size, these gaskets must meet rigorous quality and performance standards.

It is important to note that the exact technical specifications and materials of expansion joints can vary depending on the manufacturer and specific project requirements. Therefore, when selecting expansion joints of these dimensions, it is recommended that a specialist supplier or engineer be consulted to ensure that you obtain the proper joint for your particular application.

The successful supply of Bikar Expansion Joints expansion joints for this project in North Africa is a testament to their experience and commitment to excellence in the industry.
