RUBBER EXPANSION JOINTS AS DISMANTLING JOINTS

Description

BIKAR has developed a natural evolution of its BF-PPS expansion joint, creating a new product that can serve as an expansion joint and a dismantling joint at the same time.

Starting with the BF-PPS technology that has created the market’s most advanced rubber expansion joint, and taking advantage of the construction using a one-piece flange and vulcanized rubber body, BIKAR offers its customers a wide range of advantages to improve their installations or to help them save significant amounts of money during their design, operation, and/or maintenance phases.

Characteristics and Properties

Advantages of using BIKAR’s Rubber Dismantling Joint

  • Easiest assembly
  • Savings on installation costs. A single piece is able to do the work of an expansion joint (absorbing vibrations, compensating for misalignments in construction elements, etc.), but it can also be installed so that it leaves the necessary space for disassembly of adjacent equipment (valves, pumps, flowmeters, etc.).
  • Allows more movement than a dismantling joint
  • Minimum compression 25 mm ( 1 inch ).
  • Absorbs vibrations
  • Allows angular movements
  • Save on purchases
  • Avoid the need to buy costly super duplex-type materials, avoid surface treatments with Rilsan or Ebonite surface treatments, etc. The area in contact with the fluids is made of an elastomer that withstands the chemical attack of sea water
  • Save on maintenance
  • Avoid the need to repaint the exterior of pieces, avoid Ebonite treatment of the interiors better airtightness, without the need for period re-tightening
  • The best technical solution
  • Can work in a vacuum
  • Lower operating costs
  • Longer useful life
