Angular Expansion Joints

GIMBAL EXPANSION JOINT

A gimbal Expansion Joint is designed to permit angular rotation in any plane by the use of two pairs of hinges affixed to a common floating gimbal ring. The gimbal ring, hinges and pins must be designed to restrain the thrust of the Expansion Joint due to pressure and extraneous forces, where applicable.

HINGED EXPANSION JOINT

A hinged Expansion Joint contains one bellows and is designed to permit angular rotation in one plane only by the use of a pair of pins through hinge plates attached to the Expansion Joint ends. The hinges and hinge pins must be designed to restrain the thrust of the Expansion Joint due to pressure and extraneous forces, where applicable. Hinged Expansion Joints should be used in sets of two or three to function properly.
