Braided Expansion Joints

Ayvaz’s braided expansion joints are assembled using annularly corrugated stainless steel bellows and high strength stainless steel braiding. They are designed for optimum performance in vibration applications and to reduce vibration in mechanical piping systems.

Movement Absorption

Braided expansion joints are constructed with a corrugated inner bellows and braided cover that helps increasing the pressure resistance rating and provides end limitations that annihilate the need for additional control assemblies.

Advantages of Using Braided Expansion Joints:

• They prevent damage to pumps result of the piping stress.
• They absorb vibration and noise in pump connections.
• They are installed easily and prevent the possible pump failures.
• They have a compact design that reduces the waste of space.
• The bellows and the braiding are manufactured with stainless steel material
• To provide required piping flexibility to the systems in order to maintain proper operating conditions.
• To protect equipment from stress due to misalignment.
