Flexi-joint coupled pipe-work may be temporary or
permanent and will prevent the transmission of vibration and
noise and allow flexibility in length and alignment.
Flexi-joints enable pipe work that has been cut to approximate
length to be coupled together with only the aid of a spanner.
This negates the need to weld, flange groove or thread in order
to extend, repair or create pipe work for moderate system
pressures.
It is also possible to assemble the flexi-joint in cramped
locations and still retain a uniform leak-proof loading on the
seal. Many years of successful application to thousands of
pipe-work systems coupled with a progressive product development
programme, enable this popular fitting for an ever-increasing
range of applications.
The principle of a compression joint is well proven, the
resilient seal is constrained to contract onto the pipe diameter
when the clamp is tightened and will seal on all normal pipe
surfaces that are free from deep scratches gouges and dents. The
friction grip will prevent slip at low pressures but will
require external restraint at high pressure. |
