Pressure type! Absorbs vibrations, noise, expansion, and displacement in piping systems! Active in vibration prevention for factory equipment pumps and blowers!
Expansion joints (flexible joints/rubber joints) are used to prevent vibrations and noise generated from piping systems, absorb expansion and displacement due to temperature and pressure changes, and mitigate or prevent the effects of various dimensional changes during installation, as well as impacts from earthquakes and ground subsidence. They are considered essential components in piping systems. The E-P joint was launched in 1970 (Showa 45) as a low-pressure R type for elevated water tanks. Since then, it has expanded to include new products that meet customer needs, such as the high-pressure P type integrated with PTFE and the F type. Today, it is used by a wide range of customers across various industries, from household drinking water to chemical plant piping. 【Features】 1. Excellent vibration absorption 2. Superior installation work due to the use of loose flanges For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.
