The Use of Compensators in Industrial Installations: Types, Working Principle, and the Importance of Correct Selection
Expansion joints are flexible connection elements that balance expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes in pipelines, while also effectively damping vibrations in the system. By safely withstanding seismic effects, mechanical stresses, and movements that may occur along the line, they ensure the long-lasting and efficient operation of piping systems, equipment, and connection points. Depending on the design and operating conditions of the pipeline, expansion joints are selected to compensate for axial, lateral, or angular movements. In this way, stresses in the line are reduced, critical equipment is protected, and system performance is improved. ORFA Industrial offers a very wide portfolio of expansion joints suitable for different operating conditions. The product range, extending from standard metal expansion joints to specially designed large-diameter solutions, aims to provide the most suitable solution for customers' needs with many different construction and connection options such as metal bellows expansion joints, rubber expansion joints, and fabric expansion joints.
