APPLICATIONS (CONTINUED)
Hinged Expansion Joints AH have a single bellows with overall length
restrained by hinge hardware designed to accommodate pressure thrust. A
hinged expansion joint allows angular movement in a single plane.
HINGED AH
Universal Hinged AUH Expansion Joints have two bellows separated by a pipe spool with overall length
restrained by hinge hardware designed to contain pressure thrust. A
hinged universal expansion joint accepts large lateral movements in
a single plane with very low spring forces.
UNIVERSAL HINGED AUH
A three-hinge system can accommodate very large movements with very low reaction loads on the adjacent
equipment. This is a very attractive application for large diameter hot piping systems if the movements are in
the same plane.
Gimbal AG Expansion Joints have a single bellows and gimbal hardware
designed to resist pressure thrust. The gimbal expansion joint hardware operates
like the universal joint on a drive shaft to accommodate angular movements in
any plane.
GIMBAL AG
Universal Gimbaled AUG Expansion Joints are similar to the hinged universals except that the two
expansion joints are gimbal type. The advantage of this arrangement is the ability of the expansion joint to
accept large lateral movements and independent angular
movements in any plane.
UNIVERSAL GIMBAL AUG
A system consisting of two gimbals and a hinge can accommodate very large movements with very low reaction
loads on the adjacent equipment. This is a very attractive application for large diameter hot piping systems
even if the movements are complex and not in a single plane.
