Dependable absorption of movement and vibration in piping system

An expansion joint is a specially engineered product inserted in a piping system in order to protect it. For example, movements due to thermal expansion, vibrations of pumps and misalignments due to installation tolerances can be compensated by expansion joints. Therefore they must be resistant to the process conditions and the external influences. Due to many years of experience, Garlock offers solutions for various areas. Garlock rubber expansion joints have been successfully used in the various industries (chemical, petrochemical, water / wastewater, power plants, etc.) for many years.

Rubber Expansion Joints

Style 204 / 404

Universal compensators, which are characterized by a short design with simultaneous good longitudinal changes in the axial direction. The permissible movement can be adapted to the required range by the number of arches.

Style 206 / 306 / 406

This design can be used as a universal, lateral and angular compensator. Its selfflushing arch design eliminates media
build up and reduces turbulence. The permissible movement can be adapted to the required range by the number of arches. The pressure range can be extended by the use of inner or outer backup rings.

Style 8100

These joints are characterized by rotatable flanges, whereby the hole patterns of the two flanges can be offset. They
can be used as an universal or lateral compensator. The streamlined flowing arch design reduces turbulence and allows smooth, quiet flow. The permissible movement can be adapted to the required range by the number of arches.
