EXPANSION JOINTS

Tensions and forces produced on piping systems due to hampered thermal expansion or other motions such as vibration, transient motion, etc., are problems common to all piping systems.
The most modern and reliable solution is given by the expansion joints. Flexider is strongly engaged in this field since many years, both through developing research and engineering activities and applying its extensive and diversified experience.
Thanks to its own "Know-How" on the most advanced systems, Flexider is one of the main European manufacturing and trading companies and leader for technology world-wide.

The manufacturing range includes standard and taylor-made axial, angular, gimbal, lateral, universal, pressure balanced and serie of externally pressurized bellows expansion joints, all with single-ply, multiply or ring-reiforced bellows, for piping systems in various industrial applications: Hydraulic piping systems of main pumps of power plants, Power plants (boiler, turbines, auxiliary services), Cogeneration and Disalination plants, Compressors piping system of Polypropylene plants, M.T.B.E. plants, Sulphur plants, C.C.R. Reforming plants, Ammonia and Nitric acid plants, Natural gas processing plants, and others.
Special mention is for experience growth and technological developement of the expansion joints for F.C.C.U./R.F.C.C.U. installation. Flexider have invested the last 40 years in this critical field with success.
