When there is movement within the piping system as a result of thermal growth, equipment movement, vibration or pressure, an expansion joint is required to absorb this movement.
HIFraser supply Macoga expansion joints due to the following benefits:
- Reduced fatigue factor
- Exceptional resistance to abrasion and corrosion
- Small face-to-face dimensions while absorbing large movements
- Low spring rates due to rubber flexibility
- Gaskets not required for installation
- Lightweight
- Angular, torsional, axial and lateral movements absorbed
- Vibration and heat loss reduced
- Sound transmission dampened
