Seismic Expansion Joints with Gimbals

Metal expansion joints can also be used to absorb movements in piping systems due to earthquakes, ground settlements or landslides. These events can cause large movements in piping systems and cause critical piping systems to fail. Seismic expansion joints is an excellent choice for such applications. They are designed to absorb large axial and lateral movements.

These seismic expansion joints come with gimbals to limit excessive movements. They can have pipe ends, or welded / rotating flange connections supplied in accordance with many industrial norms or special drillings.

Advantages of Seismic Expansion Joints with Gimbals

Seismic expansion joints with gimbals are to absorb lateral and angular movements of both thermal and seismic origin.
With its gimbals, the expansion range can be set in adjusted range
Lateral expansion level is directly related to bellow size and the length of the middle pipe
Designed for pressure thrust acting as a safety device
High movement capacity and resistance to high temperatures and chemicals
Rotating flange, fixed flange or welding neck connection type are available
