Customized Double Sphere EPDM Rubber Expansion Joint with 5 inch ANSI B16.5

Product Specification

Double Sphere Rubber Expansion Joint | High Flexibility & Long Service Life

Product Overview

The Double Sphere Rubber Expansion Joint is a high-performance flexible connector designed to absorb vibration, reduce noise, and compensate for thermal expansion in pipelines. Compared with single sphere designs, the double sphere structure provides greater flexibility, larger displacement capacity, and improved pressure resistance, making it ideal for complex piping systems in industrial, municipal, and commercial applications.

This product is manufactured from high-quality rubber materials such as EPDM, NBR, Neoprene, or Natural Rubber, reinforced with multi-layer synthetic fabric and steel wire for excellent durability under different working conditions.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between single sphere and double sphere rubber expansion joints?
A1: The double sphere design provides greater flexibility and higher displacement absorption, especially suitable for systems with larger vibration and expansion.

Q2: Can the expansion joint handle chemicals or seawater?
A2: Yes, by selecting the right rubber material (EPDM for chemicals, NBR for oil, NR for water), the joint can adapt to various media.

Q3: What flange standards are available?
A3: We supply flanges according to ANSI, DIN, JIS, BS, and GB standards, customized as required.
