1. prevent stresses due to expansion and contraction
2. insulate against the transfer of noise
3. compensate for misalignment

Rubber expansion joints provide a proven and flexible solution to accommodate many types of movements and requirements of industrial plant and equipment.

These include:

Accommodating for pressure loads

Neutralizing axial, lateral and angular stress

Reducing noise

Isolating sources of vibration

Compensating for misalignment at plant start up

Prolonging the life of motive equipment

They are used in all systems transporting fluids, slurries or gases under pressure, at ambient pressure or under vacuum over a wide range of temperatures.
