Gimbal Type Expansion Joints

HINGED GIMBAL TYPE EXPANSION JOINTS (DILATATION AND EARTHQUAKE EXPANSION JOINTS)

Dilatation and Earthquake Expansion Joints are also known as Angular Expansion Joints or Hinged Gimbal Type Expansion Joints are designed to compensate the movements in three dimensions (x, y and z direction) and have ability to absorb large movement in any plane. Gimbal Type Expansion Joints are flexible fittings due to this flexibility these expansion joints purified the rigid pipelines from stress which occurs at the dilatation points of the buildings or seismic movements.

Application Area of the Gimbal Type Expansion Joints

  • Dilatation points of the buildings
  • Area that seismic movements are occur
  • Fuel tanks
  • Filling Facilities
  • Fire pipelines
  • All pipelines
