Low pressure, internal PTFE type! Absorbs vibration, noise, expansion, and displacement in piping systems! Active in piping for corrosive fluids in chemical plants and vibration prevention for corrosion-resistant pumps!
Expansion joints (rubber joints) are used for preventing vibrations and noise generated from piping systems, absorbing expansion and displacement due to temperature and pressure changes, as well as accommodating various dimensional fluctuations during installation and mitigating or preventing the effects of earthquakes and ground subsidence. They are considered essential components in piping installations. The E-P joint was launched in 1970 (Showa 45) as a low-pressure R-type for elevated water tanks. Since then, it has added new products to meet customer needs, including the high-pressure P-type integrated product with PTFE, known as 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. Low-pressure type with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner surface coating 2. Uses PTFE in the liquid-contacting part (inner surface), providing excellent chemical resistance 3. Improved resistance to external impacts through integration with durable and strong rubber For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.
