Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints: Safe – Reliable – Durable Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints Dependable absorption of movements and vibrations in piping system An expansion joint is a specially engineered product inserted in a piping system in order to protect it. For example, movements due to thermal expansion, vibrations of pumps and misalignments due to installation tolerances can be compensated by expansion joints. Therefore they must be resistant to the process conditions and the external influences. Due to many years of experience, Garlock offers solutions for various areas. Garlock...

Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints: Safe - Reliable - Durable Garlock offers a variety of different expansion joints as well as accessories (UV protection panels / flange protection hoods, etc.). Also the design / calculation of expansion joints (as soft as possible and as stable as necessary) is part of our portfolio. This brochure is giving an overview of the most common styles of our product range. Universal expansion joints with abrupt arch Universal compensators, which are characterized by a short design with simultaneous good longitudinal changes in the axial direction. The permissible...

Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints: Safe - Reliable - Durable Universal expansion joints with rotary flanges These joints are characterized by rotatable flanges, whereby the hole patterns of the two flanges can be offset. They can be used as an universal or lateral compensator. The streamlined flowing arch design reduces turbulence and allows smooth, quiet flow. The permissible movement can be adapted to the required range by the number of arches. Leaders in Sealing Integrity

Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints: Safe - Reliable - Durable Body Wire The different applications, as well as the operating conditions for the rubber compensators, make it necessary to adapt the bellows according to the application. The inside area comes into contact with the medium and must therefore be chemically resistant to them. The compensator absorbs the forces caused by the process pressure and the movements. The outer shell is exposed to environmental influences. Depending on the application, different materials are combined. Neoprene Tube Leaders in Sealing Integrity

Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints: Safe – Reliable – Durable Piping Examples Types of Pipe Movements When designing a piping system, the piping system should not provide a statically rigid system. Combinations of anchor, pipe guides and expansion joints give the system the necessary adaptability to movements of the piping system. The different combinations of anchor, pipe guides and pipeline layouts lead to necessary requirements for the expansion joint. With these requirements, the joints can be better adapted to the required movements. Universal expansion joint Universal expansion joints...

Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints: Safe – Reliable – Durable Piping Examples Types of Pipe Movements Lateral expansion joint Lateral expansion joints can handle movements crosswise to the piping system. In this case, the control units are supplied with spherical washers and bevel washers. In the shown installation layout, the pipe guides only allow a lateral movement. Due to the operating pressure and the active joint cross-section, the compensator generates axial forces. These are absorbed by the control unit and are not transmitted to the pipeline. The lateral flexibility of the control...

Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints: Safe – Reliable – Durable Piping Examples Types of Pipe Movements Angular expansion joint Angular expansion joints absorb only angular movements. Special control units with a fixed pivot point support this movement. In the shown installation layout, with the installed pipe guides and angular expansion joints, both joints only allow an angular movement. The pivot ensures that the resulting axial forces of the expansion joint are not passed on to the pipeline. Leaders in Sealing Integrity

Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints: Safe – Reliable – Durable Installation Guideline for installation Preparation Check compensator » Check outside joint cover for damage Check alignment » Check the piping system for misalignment, as misalignment reduces the working range of the expansion joint Check support » Weight must not be carried by joint » Support with hangers or anchors Check flanges » Clean all mating flanges surfaces » Do not scratch or damage surfaces during cleaning Typical Piping Layout Installation Lubricants » There is no lubricant needed Insert bolts from arch side » Set bolt...
