Technical FAQ: Rubber Expansion Joint Expertise
Q: When must limiters be installed with Rubber Expansion Joints?
A: Limiters are required for joints above DN200 in overhead water systems without fixed supports per MSS SP-117 standards
Q: What flange types are compatible with your products?
A: We support valve flanges or GB/T9115.1(RF) flanges with custom options for ANSI/DIN/BS systems
Q: How does EPDM perform in ozone environments?
A: EPDM offers excellent ozone resistance with degradation threshold 100x higher than natural rubber
Q: What's the pressure difference between fabric-reinforced vs steel-reinforced joints?
A: Steel reinforcement increases pressure rating by 150% (max 40 bar) versus fabric reinforcement
Q: How does temperature affect service life?
A: Operating 20°C above rated temperature reduces lifespan by 50% according to Arrhenius equation
Q: What's the minimum bend radius for DN1500 joints?
A: Minimum angular deflection is 15° with axial displacement capacity of ±50mm
Q: How often should joints be inspected in chemical processing plants?
A: Quarterly inspections recommended with visual checks for blistering, cracking, or permanent deformation
Installation Best Practices
Verify pipe alignment before installation with max angular deflection ≤ 15°
Install control units for joints >DN200 in vertical configurations
Never use joint as pipe alignment correction device
Torque flange bolts in criss-cross pattern to specified N·m values
Note: Proper installation extends service life by 300% based on FSA research data
