Ad-hoc design and manufacturing of expansion joints for a water project in Asia

This supply consists of rubber expansion joints custom designed and manufactured for one of the most important clients in Asia, in response to special technical requirements.

They are large rubber expansion joints with demanding technical requirements due to the pressures they must withstand, as a consequence of their specific application for the water sector.

This type of equipment has been designed following the FSA guidelines, and according to the technical parameters provided by the engineer, which are:

Fluid: Water
Design pressure: 10-15 bar
Design temperature: 50ºC
Size: DN150-1800

For this project, Bikar has been in charge of advising and accompanying the client from the offer, design, manufacturing, testing and transportation phases of the requested material.

Once again, Bikar strengthens its position as not only a manufacturer of expansion joints, but as a reliable partner for EPCs throughout the extensive decision and purchasing processes of this type of equipment in industrial projects.

Expansion joints designed and manufactured for pumping stations in Egypt.

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. The company looks forward to continuing to play a crucial role in the development of key infrastructure around the world and to remain a trusted partner for major projects.

Metallic expansion joints for North Africa

To meet the specific requirements of one of our clients, we have manufactured a wide variety of metal expansion joints. Within this supply, there is a quite characteristic expansion joint such as the BM-GI model, which we will focus on in this article. This extraordinary joint has been designed to allow angular rotation in any plane, offering unmatched flexibility and functionality.

The core of this metal expansion joint lies in the use of two joints perfectly connected to a common cardan pivot. This ingenious mechanism allows seamless angular rotation, necessary for a wide range of motion to meet various operational needs. In addition, the support ring that accompanies this joint can be adapted to a round or square shape, which improves its adaptability to different structural configurations.

Recognizing the importance of durability and safety, the linkage assembly and bolt pin have been designed to withstand significant clamping forces. Thanks to meticulous design and rigorous testing, this joint guarantees unparalleled support, ensuring your confidence even in challenging conditions.

Design specifications:
DN 100
ASME B16.5 150#
L330
Design conditions:
Pressure: 12 Bar
Temperature: 204ºC

In addition to its angular rotation capabilities, this metal expansion joint model excels in absorbing substantial lateral movements in multiple planes. The incorporation of a dual fuel design allows to absorb and reduce large lateral displacements. This feature ensures greater stability and strength, making it an ideal solution for demanding applications involving dynamic forces and variable operating conditions.

The introduction of this state-of-the-art metal expansion joint not only represents a leap forward in engineering technology, but also reflects our commitment to providing tailored solutions that meet the unique requirements of our customers. As industries evolve and new challenges arise, this innovative joint is ready to deliver perfect angular rotation and reliable performance in a multitude of applications.
