Expansion Joint, valve expansion joint, which brand should I buy?

Expansion Joints , or expansion joints, are important devices that are often overlooked in industrial piping systems, especially in valve installations, whether they be control valves, safety valves, or check valves. This is because Expansion Joints help withstand pressure and movement caused by pipe expansion when exposed to high temperatures, pressure, or repeated vibrations each day.

This article will introduce you to this type of equipment and recommend some interesting brands to help those looking for an Expansion Joint.

What is an expansion joint ?

Expansion Joints are devices installed in piping systems to support the expansion or contraction of pipes when temperature changes, reduce vibration from machinery or fluid flow, and help prevent potential damage to valves or pipe connections.

Especially when installing valves that require precise opening and closing or are in areas with high movement, such as steam systems, hot water systems, and high-pressure fluids, using Expansion Joints will effectively extend the life of the entire equipment.

The installation of expansion joints is important for valves as follows:

Valves are devices that control the flow of fluid in a system. If there is no Expansion Joint to support pipe expansion or vibration, the valve contact surface may be damaged or leak.
Systems that frequently open and close valves, such as air conditioning systems, steam systems, or high-pressure water delivery systems, should always use Expansion Joints to maintain operating efficiency.
