A flexible rubber joint, also known as a rubber expansion joint or rubber bellows, is a type of pipe connection component used to absorb movement, vibration, and misalignment in piping systems.
- Construction:
A single sphere flexible rubber joint single sphere consists of a single spherical-shaped rubber body. The rubber body is typically made of elastomers such as natural rubber, EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), neoprene, or other suitable materials. - Function:
The primary function of a single sphere flexible rubber joint is to provide flexibility and movement capability in piping systems.
The rubber joint allows for axial, lateral, and angular movement, as well as absorbing noise and vibrations generated within the piping system.
