The expansion joint is an important component on the dredger that connects the dredging pump and pipelines and connects the pipelines on the deck. It has the functions of providing expansion and contraction, shock absorption and protecting the equipment. Choosing the right expansion joint is the key to ensuring the normal operation of the system and improving work efficiency.
Factors to consider when choosing expansion joints
Expansion joints are commonly used in demanding underlying processes such as those in the steel, power, pulp and paper, mining and chemical industries. Proper selection, installation and maintenance of expansion joints is critical to ensuring the reliability of your piping system and maximizing performance while achieving a longer service life.
Learn about the application
The first step in selecting the appropriate expansion joint is to gain a thorough understanding of your system application requirements, considering the dredger's operating environment, pressure and temperature range, as well as the location and requirements of pipe connections, this will help you determine the size, type and material of expansion joint you need.
Material selection
Choosing the right material is key to ensuring the performance and longevity of the expansion joint. Common materials include rubber, metal, and polymer. Rubber material has excellent elasticity and wear resistance, making it suitable for most dredger applications. Metal materials have high strength and pressure resistance, and are suitable for working environments with high pressure requirements.
Design and configuration
It is important to consider the design and configuration of the expansion joint for ease of installation and maintenance, ensuring that the length of the chosen expansion joint is suitable for the installation space. Under normal circumstances, the length of the extension joint is usually 0~5mm shorter than the installation space, and the installation space redundancy of long extension joint does not exceed 10mm. In addition, the interface type and connection method of the extension joint must also be considered. Good design can provide better shock absorption effect and protect the equipment to ensure the stability and safety of the application.
Quality and Standardization
Extension joint should comply with relevant quality standards and industry regulations and be manufactured under a quality management system that complies with international standards to ensure their performance and reliability.
