Angular Expansion Joints

Angular expansion joints are designed to absorb rotational movement around a fixed point through the use of integrated hinges or gimbal mechanisms. They are commonly used in piping systems with directional changes, allowing the pipeline to move without transmitting torsional or excessive mechanical stresses.

Applications

• Petrochemical facilities
• Industrial HVAC systems
• Chemical plants
• Sensitive equipment connections

Benefits:

• Reduction of structural loads
• Efficient handling of directional changes
• Improved stability in complex piping systems

Their design must take into account maximum rotational movement, internal pressure, and overall system geometry.
