The double sphere rubber expansion joint is a flanged flexible expansion joint, available with 2 inch/3 inch/4 inch/6 inch flange diameter, NR, EPDM, or Neoprene material, carbon steel galvanized flange material, and the pressure and flange material can be customized.
Features
- The double sphere flanged rubber expansion joint is compact in size and lightweight, featuring good elasticity and facilitating easy installation and maintenance. It can reduce the structure-transmitted noise during operation and has a strong shock absorption ability.
- It can produce lateral, axial and angular displacement during installation, and is not restricted by the pipe's non-concentricity and the flange's non-parallelism.
- Twin sphere rubber joints can more effectively prevent corrosion in high-temperature, acid-alkali and oil-resistant pipelines, and the medium's erosion of the rubber joint increases its service life.
- 2 inch/3 inch/4 inch/6 inch flexible rubber joints are available, with good comprehensive performance, and are widely used in various industries and pipeline matching.

Applications

Tips: What are the materials of rubber expansion joints
Rubber expansion joints can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the application, fluid type, temperature, and pressure conditions. Below is a summary of common rubber materials used in expansion joints, along with their characteristics and typical applications:
- Natural Rubber (NR):
Excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility. Ideal for water and slurry.
Not suitable for oil or chemicals.
- Nitrile Rubber (NBR):
Good resistance to oils, fuels, and grease.
Poor weather and ozone resistance.
- Neoprene (CR):
Resistant to moderate oil, weather, and ozone.
Used in marine and industrial applications.
- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer):
Excellent for water, steam, acids, and weather.
Not suitable for oil or hydrocarbons.
