Expansion Joint

An expansion joint is a device used to connect two components while providing adjustable length between them. It typically consists of two or more tubular parts that fit together, allowing for extension and contraction within a certain range. This device plays a crucial role in piping systems by compensating for and absorbing axial, lateral, and angular thermal expansion of the pipeline. It also helps absorb equipment vibrations, reduce the impact of equipment vibrations on the pipeline, and provides protection against fire and seismic activities.
