ProHydraulics supplies expansion joints for industrial piping systems — from standard solutions to custom configurations for specific operating conditions. Expansion joints absorb axial, lateral and angular movements, dampen vibration and reduce mechanical stress in the pipeline.
Types of movement absorbed: axial · lateral · angular
Industries: metallurgy & steel · oil & gas · power generation · chemical & petrochemical · shipbuilding · HVAC & water supply
Types of Expansion Joints
Rubber expansion joints
Working pressure: up to 25 bar Temperature: up to +200°C Used in water supply systems, HVAC, pump installations and chemical industry. Effectively absorb vibration and noise from pumps and compressors. Available in NBR, EPDM, Neoprene, Butyl, and FKM (Viton) — a material with high chemical resistance and working temperature up to +200°C.
Steel bellows expansion joints
Working pressure: up to 100 bar Temperature: above +500°C Ideal for steam, hot gases, petrochemical media, metallurgy and power generation. Maximum pressure and temperature resistance. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel (304/316L) and special alloys.
PTFE expansion joints
Working pressure: up to 16 bar Temperature: up to +200°C Designed for aggressive chemical media, pharmaceutical and food industries. Exceptional chemical resistance to virtually all media.
Fabric expansion joints
Working pressure: up to 0.5 bar Temperature: above +1000°C Used in flue gas ducts, boiler and turbine gas paths, power generation plants. Highest temperature resistance of all expansion joint types. Made from specially engineered high-temperature materials.
Elastomeric expansion joints
Working pressure: up to 16 bar Temperature: up to +120°C High flexibility, compensating significant angular and lateral movements. Used in water supply, sewage and industrial piping systems.
