What is the function of the expansion joint of the valve

Expansion joints play a crucial role in valve products.

Firstly, compensate for pipeline displacement. Due to factors such as temperature changes, foundation settlement, and equipment vibration, pipelines may experience axial, lateral, or angular displacement during installation and use. Expansion joints can absorb these displacements through their own elastic deformation, thereby avoiding damage to pipelines due to excessive displacement, such as bending, rupture, etc.

Secondly, it facilitates the installation and disassembly of valves. In pipeline systems, valves typically require regular maintenance, overhaul, or replacement. The existence of expansion joints makes the connection between valves and pipelines more flexible. When installing and disassembling valves, the length of the expansion joint can be adjusted to meet the requirements of the operating space, greatly improving work efficiency.

Furthermore, reduce pipeline stress. The pipeline system will withstand various stresses during operation, such as internal pressure, external pressure, thermal stress, etc. Expansion joints can effectively reduce the impact of these stresses on pipelines and valves, extending their service life.

In addition, improve the sealing of the pipeline system. The connection between the expansion joint and the pipeline and valve is tight, which can prevent medium leakage and ensure the safe operation of the pipeline system.

Finally, adapt to different working conditions. Expansion joints come in various types and specifications, and can be selected according to different pipeline materials, media, pressure, temperature, and other conditions to meet the requirements of various complex working conditions.

In short, expansion joints play an important role in valve products. They not only protect pipelines and valves, improve the reliability and safety of pipeline systems, but also provide convenience for pipeline installation, maintenance, and overhaul.
