full face rubber expansion joint

The primary component of a rubber expansion joint is a resilient elastomeric body, typically manufactured from natural rubber or synthetic compounds like EPDM, Neoprene, or Nitrile. The selection of material is critical, as it determines the joint's resistance to various media, temperature range, and environmental factors like ozone or weathering. Internally, the joint is reinforced with fabric piles or cord plies, and sometimes a metal ring, to provide strength and withstand operating pressures. Externally, flanges—either metal or integral rubber-covered—are used for connection to the pipeline.The primary component of a rubber expansion joint is a resilient elastomeric body, typically manufactured from natural rubber or synthetic compounds like EPDM, Neoprene, or Nitrile.
