Gimbal Expansion Joints
Gimbal Expansion Joints are specialized components designed to accommodate angular movements in multiple planes. They are essential for systems experiencing complex motion and misalignment, ensuring flexibility and protecting the integrity of piping networks.
Material
Stainless Steel, Inconel
Applications
- Refineries
- Power plants
- shipbuilding
- high-temperature piping systems
Features
- Allows angular movement in multiple planes
- Equipped with gimbal rings for enhanced stability
- Designed for high-pressure and temperature environments
The most reliable form of flexible joint is Gimbal Joint capable of absorbing angular motion in all planes. The incorporation includes of absorbing angular motion in all planes. The incorporation includes a pair of hinges connected to a floating Gimbal ring which has a very special advantages like absorbing pressure thrust, supporting the dead weight of the system, transmission of wind & shear loads through the Gimbal Structure. These Bellow usually in pairs will permit piping to float in relation to the terminal points.
