How does the Full-faced Expansion Joints work?
Full-faced expansion joints are designed to accommodate movements in piping systems while providing a complete sealing surface. Here’s how they work:
Design: Full-faced expansion joints typically feature a flat, full-face flange that allows for a direct connection to the piping system. This design helps to evenly distribute the pressure and forces acting on the joint.
Movement Accommodation: These joints are capable of absorbing various types of movements, including axial (longitudinal), lateral (side-to-side), and angular displacements. This flexibility helps to minimize stress on the connected piping and equipment.
Sealing Function: The full-face design ensures a complete seal between the joint and the connecting pipes. This reduces the risk of leaks, which is critical in applications involving liquids or gases.
Vibration and Shock Absorption: Full-faced expansion joints also help absorb vibrations and shocks generated by equipment, enhancing the overall stability and longevity of the piping system.
Installation: They can be easily installed between two flanged connections, making them a practical choice for many piping configurations. Proper alignment and securing of the flanges are essential to ensure effective performance.
Overall, full-faced expansion joints play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of piping systems, especially in dynamic environments where movement is expected.
