Rubber Expansion Joint FAQ

Short answers for engineers and buyers about rubber expansion joints, custom industrial rubber flexible joints, and flexible connectors.

Q1: Can your rubber expansion joints be customized for high-temperature and high-pressure applications, including piping and pump systems?

A: Yes. Backed by over 30 years of engineering expertise, we design and manufacture custom rubber expansion joints for high-temperature and high-pressure applications up to 130ยฐC.

Our manufacturing capabilities include:
    • Hand-Wrapped Joints: Engineered for extreme high-pressure duties, supporting a maximum working pressure of 11.5 MPa and a verified burst pressure of 33 MPa.

    • Molded Joints (โ‰คDN100): Custom-rated up to 4.0 MPa. These joints deliver a 3x safety factor with a 12.0 MPa burst pressure, fully complying with national standards.

We engineer and customize every rubber expansion joint solution to meet your exact operating conditions, including high-temperature, high-pressure, and pump system applications.

Q2: What type of rubber expansion joint should I select for my pipeline?

A: It depends on your working media, pressure, and temperature. For general water and HVAC systems, single-sphere and double-sphere rubber expansion joints are standard. For corrosive chemical media, we recommend PTFE-lined or specialized rubber grades like EPDM, NBR, Viton (FKM), Neoprene, and CSM. For high-pressure pipelines, PN25 or PN40 rated flexible rubber joints with control rods are required.
