Expansion joints are a crucial component to an industrial piping system, allowing for movement caused by thermal expansion and equipment vibration. This expansion and vibration can be detrimental to the integrity of the machines and nearby equipment. This movement can also increase the risk of failure. Protecting your piping investment with proper installation of expansion joints is a reliable way to prevent failures and unnecessary down time.
