Rubber soft connection

Rubber expansion joint, also known as rubber expansion joint or rubber hose joint, is a flexible connection element used in pipeline systems. It is mainly used to absorb thermal expansion, vibration, offset and other mechanical stresses in pipelines. Through the composite structure of rubber and metal reinforcement layer, it can effectively relieve the stress caused by temperature changes, pressure fluctuations, improper installation and other reasons in pipelines, and avoid damage to pipeline systems. Rubber expansion joints are widely used in pipeline systems in industries such as petroleum, chemical, electric power, metallurgy, construction, and municipal administration.

1. Product Features:

Excellent flexibility:
Rubber soft links have excellent flexibility and can adapt to the thermal expansion, contraction and displacement of pipelines during operation, effectively reducing the stress of pipelines caused by external forces.

Anti-vibration and noise:
This product can effectively absorb noise and vibration caused by equipment vibration or fluid flow, reduce system noise, and extend the service life of equipment.

Corrosion resistance:
Rubber soft links are usually made of corrosion-resistant rubber materials, which can resist the erosion of most acids, alkalis, salts and chemical media, and adapt to various harsh working environments.

High temperature resistance:
Under high temperature environment, rubber soft links can maintain stable performance and adapt to working conditions with a wide temperature range. The temperature resistance range can usually reach -20°C to +150°C (the specific temperature may vary depending on the material).

Easy installation:
The rubber soft link has a simple design structure, and no additional complex debugging and equipment are required during installation. It is directly connected to the pipeline by bolts during installation, saving labor time and cost.

Reduce pipeline stress:
By compensating for the displacement and offset of the pipeline, reduce the stress concentration of the pipeline, reduce the risk of pipeline deformation or rupture, and protect the safety of the pipeline system.

Multiple sizes and specifications:
Rubber soft links can be customized according to customer needs and are suitable for pipeline systems of different diameters and pressure levels.

3. Common types:

Single corrugated rubber soft link:
This type of rubber soft link is usually used in occasions with small temperature changes. It has a simple structure and is suitable for bearing small-range displacement and compensation.

Double corrugated rubber soft link:
The double corrugated design can withstand a large range of displacement and is often used in systems that require large displacement compensation, such as hot and cold alternating pipes.

Multi-corrugated rubber soft link:
The multi-corrugated design can provide greater compensation capacity and is suitable for high-displacement, high-vibration and more complex pipeline systems.

High-temperature rubber soft link:
It uses high-temperature resistant rubber materials and is suitable for high-temperature steam, hot water, exhaust gas and other pipeline systems.

Corrosion-resistant rubber soft link:
For corrosive media in chemical, petrochemical and other industries, corrosion-resistant rubber (such as fluororubber, chloroprene rubber, etc.) is used to ensure long-term and stable use.

Stainless steel belt reinforced rubber soft link:
A stainless steel belt or metal reinforcement layer is added to the rubber layer to improve its compressive strength and high-pressure resistance, which is suitable for higher-pressure pipeline systems.

 

4. Application areas:

Oil and gas:
In oil and gas transmission pipelines, rubber flexible links are used to absorb temperature changes and displacements, reduce pipeline losses, and extend pipeline service life.

Chemical industry:
In chemical transmission pipelines, rubber flexible links can adapt to the corrosion and temperature changes of chemical media to ensure the stable operation of the pipeline system.

Power industry:
In thermal pipelines, cooling water pipelines, and steam pipelines, rubber flexible links are used to compensate for thermal expansion and reduce the stress of pipelines caused by temperature changes.

Municipal water supply:
In municipal water supply systems, rubber flexible links are used to compensate for the thermal expansion of pipelines to avoid pipeline rupture or damage caused by expansion or contraction.

Metallurgical industry:
In metallurgical equipment, especially high-temperature gas exhaust systems, rubber flexible links can effectively absorb thermal expansion and reduce damage to equipment and pipelines.

Environmental protection industry:
In waste gas and sewage treatment systems, rubber flexible links help absorb pressure fluctuations and mechanical vibrations in pipeline systems to ensure the normal operation of environmental protection systems.

 

5. Advantages:

Shock absorption and noise reduction:
Rubber soft links can effectively absorb the vibration and noise generated by the operation of equipment and pipelines, and improve the stability of the system.

Enhance system safety:
Reduce the risk of pipeline rupture and protect the safety of pipelines and equipment by reducing the stress caused by pressure and thermal expansion of pipelines.

Economic and durable:
Rubber soft links have a long service life, can reduce frequent replacement and maintenance, and reduce long-term operating costs.

Flexible adaptability:
The product can be customized according to the working pressure, medium type, temperature and other environmental conditions of the pipeline to meet the needs of various complex working conditions.

Quality assurance:

Our rubber soft links are made of high-quality rubber and reinforced materials, and have undergone strict quality inspections and meet international standards. Products undergo multiple tests before leaving the factory, including pressure tests, temperature tests, sealing performance tests, etc., to ensure their reliability and durability in actual use.

 

6. Packaging and transportation:

Packaging: Customized packaging is carried out according to product specifications and quantities, usually using protective packaging methods such as wooden boxes, cartons, bubble films, etc. to ensure safety during transportation.
Transportation: We provide a variety of transportation methods such as sea, air, and land transportation to ensure on-time delivery according to customer needs.

 

7. Notes:

Installation inspection:
Before installing the rubber soft link, check the flatness of the connection part to ensure that the sealing parts are intact and avoid water leakage or leakage caused by improper installation.

Regular inspection:
During long-term use, regularly check the status of the rubber soft link, especially the rubber part, to ensure that there are no aging, cracks and other problems.

Applicable pressure:
Rubber soft links are suitable for medium and low pressure environments. Pipeline systems with excessive pressure need to choose corresponding high-pressure rubber soft links.

 

8. Summary:
Rubber soft links are indispensable flexible connection elements in modern pipeline systems. They can effectively solve problems caused by temperature changes, vibrations, offsets and other factors in pipelines, reduce pipeline damage and improve system safety. They are widely used in petroleum, chemical, electric power, municipal and other industries. They have excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and pressure resistance, and can ensure long-term stable operation of pipelines.
