Flexible Connectors are used in DUCT SYSTEMS to reduce Vibration Transmission and Shock, and Accommodate Thermal Movements at minimum stress to the ductwork. In Seismic zones they accommodate differential motion across building expansion joints as well. MASON-MERCER SPECIFICATIONS - (Contact us
Get PriceExpansion Joint on the other hand, as we told earlier, the materials gets expand due to temperature. If we construct the adjacent structure without providing expansion joint then the volume change will affect the adjacent structure and gets it defigured. Makes the whole structure collapsed. Purpose of Expansion Joints. Providing expansion joints makes room for the structure to allow to move or
Get PriceThe expansion joint is installed to make the installation simpler, compensate for misalignment, relieve the equipment flanges of stress, compensate for seismic movement and primarily to prevent the transmission of noise and vibration. The expansion joints are often installed next to equipment that is spring mounted, as is the piping. Therefore, the piping is not anchored, and if hand wrapped
Get Price17.06.2017ยท Bellows, or expansion joints, are much more flexible than flexible connectors. Bellows are designed to absorb pipe expansion. The corrugations are larger and therefore able to compress more. They are generally better able to handle lateral movement as well, so they can better tolerate pipe misalignment. Because they are more flexible, they can provide expansion
Get PriceExpansion joints can be made from rubber, metal, or various polymers such as PTFE; although non-metallic expansion joints may cost less than metal expansion joints, they have limited temperature resistance and pressure-carrying capabilities, and can allow through-wall permeation of the media being conveyed. If the expansion joint is being installed outdoors, metal offers additional resistance
Get PriceExpansion Joint in Concrete. Expansion joints are placed in concrete to prevent expansive cracks formed due to temperature change. Concrete undergoes expansion due to high temperature when in a confined boundary which leads to cracks. Expansion joints are provided in slabs, pavements, buildings, bridges, sidewalks, railway tracks, piping systems, ships, and other structures. Fig 3: Cross
Get PriceVS-FLEX permits the convenient installation of roadway expansion joints both in new constructions and during renovation work. The roadway expansion joint can be adapted to any bridge geometry. VS-FLEX is able to absorb the horizontal and vertical movements of the bridge in both the longitudinal and transverse directions.
Get Price9. Rabbet Joint. Woodworkers form this joint by forming a recess into the edge of the timber. It looks like the protruding edge from a tongue and groove joint, except it only has one side cut from it instead of two. While the rabbet joinery is a simple wood joint, it is much stronger than the butt joint.

Get PriceThe expansion joint material will be different based on the structure. The expansion joints are provided as per IS 3414. Contraction Joints. It is another type of joint which controls the cracks happening due to shrinkages. The contraction joints are placed as a groove where the crack may form in concrete. If the shrinkage crack is formed in the concrete slab then the contraction joints
