Hinged Type
Product Overview
Hinged type
A hinged expansion joint contains one bellows and is designed to permit angular rotation in one plane only by the use of a pair of pins through hinge plates attached to the expansion joint ends.
Hinged Pipe Expansion Joints contain hinges or pivots which allow the unit to bend in a single plane. These units are designed to restrict axial deflection, either in extension or compression.
Features
Angular motion in all planes
Positive control over the movement
Withstand pressure thrust load
Transmits external loads
Bolsters dead weight
Prevents torsion on bellows
No main anchors required
Minimum guiding required
Low forces on piping system
Most efficient in absorbing thermal deflections.
