Functions of Rubber Joint Applied to the Pipeline Connector

secureluokai May 8, 2018

Rubber joint is also called soft rubber joint, expansion joint, soft rubber connector, rubber extender, rubber extender and flexible rubber connector, etc. For the rubber joint, we rely on the unique performance of the rubber, e.g. high elasticity, airtightness, corrosion and radiation tolerance, make compounding with the polyester cord with high strength and cold and hot stability and undergo the high-pressure and high-temperature modeling. The rubber joint thus produced boasts high inner compactness. The product can withstand higher pressure and boasts outstanding elastic deformation effect. Apart from the high terminal surface arc and long curve, the product boasts bigger multi-direction displacement function. The product is particularly suitable for the pipeline environment characterized by complex geological condition, high precipitation and frequent temperature variation. The elastic slide displacement and heat transfer emission arising out of the reshaping force can effectively eliminate the physical damage arising out of the displacement of the pump, valve and pipeline. Because the rubber belongs to the inferior conducting material, it’s an ideally environment-friendly product to reduce vibration and noise. The product boasts smooth inner wall. Actual test shows that it has no influence on the medium flow rate. Besides, there will be no erosion. The product is basically maintenance free within the effective operation period.

Features of rubber joints

1. The rubber joint can greatly reduce the pipeline vibration noise. It can basically resolve such problems as the pipeline connector displacement, axial extension and eccentricity.
2. Based on the material used, the corresponding varieties thus produced may resist acid, alkali, erosion, oil and heat. It’s suitable for multiple media and operation environment.
3. The polar rubber thus used boasts good sealing performance, light weight, installation and maintenance convenience and long service life. However, it shall not contact the sharp metallic equipment to prevent the sphere rupture.
4. In case of overhead installation, the elastic bracket might be used. The diagonal tightening is preferred.
5. When the pipeline pressure is too high, flanges on both ends shall be bolted together.
