The 240-M EPDM Rubber Flanged Expansion Joint Single-Sphere Connector ASA 150T BS is a high-performance component designed to absorb movement, reduce vibration, and minimize noise in piping systems. Its single-sphere design enhances flexibility and strength, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Key Features
- Material Composition: Constructed from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering.
- Flange Standards: Equipped with flanges conforming to ASA 150T and British Standard (BS) specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of piping systems.
- Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Capable of handling pressures up to 225 psi and temperatures ranging from 20°F to 250°F, accommodating various operational conditions.
- Movement Absorption: Designed to accommodate axial compression, axial extension, lateral deflection, and angular movement, thereby protecting piping systems from stress and thermal expansion.
- Vibration and Noise Reduction: Effectively isolates mechanical vibrations and dampens noise transmission, contributing to a quieter and more stable system.
- Durability: The molded spherical shape provides inherent strength, reducing turbulence and sediment buildup, which enhances the longevity of the joint.
Applications
This expansion joint is ideal for use in:
- Air conditioning and heating systems
- Chemical processing plants
- Water and wastewater treatment facilities
- Power generation plants
- Marine and shipbuilding industries
- Pulp and paper mills
Installation and Maintenance
The 240-M EPDM Rubber Flanged Expansion Joint features rotating metallic flanges, facilitating easy alignment and installation. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure optimal performance and to identify any signs of wear or fatigue.
Incorporating this expansion joint into your piping system enhances operational efficiency by accommodating dynamic movements and reducing mechanical stress, thereby extending the lifespan of the entire system.
