Custom Elbow Pressure
Balanced EJ
This type of pipe expansion joint is a combination of
several types. Its purpose is to retain and balance the
pressure thrust so that main anchoring of the pipe or
adjacent equipment is not required, and forces and
movements on attachment flanges of delicate
equipment, such as turbines, are kept to acceptably
low levels. The deflections to be accepted are handled
by the proper type of pipe expansion joint, which
normally, is a tied universal type to accept lateral
movements. However, the pressure balanced elbow is
usually required because axial deflections are also
present.
