Rubber expansion joints are equipment with great responsibility, capable of absorbing movements, vibrations, and stresses in piping systems with fluids at temperatures below 200°C and typical pressures below 25 bar. They protect high-value equipment from thermal movements and mechanical stress: pumps, valves, condensers, etc. Learn more about our rubber expansion joints and contact us at the following link:
