Are you considering upgrading your current piping system? Replacing expansion joints is a topic we discuss with each of our clients because it is specific to their necessary applications. Explore the three benefits of rectangular metal expansion joints in piping systems by reading below.
Space Reduction
Rectangular expansion joints can reduce the necessary space for absorbing movements. Take alternative configurations like bent pipes and loops, for example. By design, rectangular expansion joints absorb movement in all directions and can fit any gaps by adjusting product thickness. Space reduction also allows for easy installation and the ability to upgrade parts as needed.
Manufactured to Your Specific Needs
Depending on your piping system, you may need alternative solutions to handle pressure, maintain integrity with high temperature or reduce friction caused by vibration.
Rectangular metal expansion joints can handle pressure upwards of 3,000 psi and temperatures between -450 degrees to +2000 degrees Farenheight. Mitigating risk through high-quality materials is essential when considering the long-term stress of piping systems.
Low Maintenance Cost
We must consider the component application and cost of metal versus fabric expansion joints. Rectangular metal expansion joints are low maintenance for the amount of stress and application they endure.
Regular checkups are encouraged, though you will not need to replace these components anytime soon. Ultimately, you should consider upgrading to metal expansion joints if the application has high-temperature needs, high-pressure ratings, and friction caused by movement.
The benefits of rectangular metal expansion joints fulfill one purpose. Joints can fit the typical constraints of a piping system, no matter the dimensions.
