Restraint:
TYPE 40
Under pressure the expansion joint bellows produces a reaction force (in
the axial direction [effective surface area x operating pressure]), which
must be absorbed by the nearest anchor-points.

For purely lateral or angular movement it is possible, with restraints (see


tie bar page 48) to relieve the anchor-points or mounting point
connections of the reaction force, so that only the adjusting forces from
the extension movement still have to be absorbed.

Important Note:
Counter flanges must be designed smooth and without recesses. The
bellows must not be insulated or painted.

KIM Expansion Joint Type 42
Type 42 is a robust, thick-walled rubber Ladaz Expansion Jointwith
TYPE 42
integrated corrugation produced by hand winding.

The manufacturing process makes it possible to produce this


expansion joint in variable overall lengths and pressure ratings.

Design:
Synthetic rubber body with various reinforcing inserts and fully
strengthened rubber flanges with or without steel insert. The rubber
flange is self-sealing so that no additional gasket is required.

Tie bar (Standard Designs B + C)
TYPE 49
Since the rubber bellows is a soft flexible component, it must be
observed that under pressure the expansion joint will always try to
move in the axial direction because of its reaction force (cross
section area x working pressure).

It must be ensured by constructive measures on the piping (roller


bearing, restraining or anchor points) or tie bars directly on the
expansion joint that any over-extension of the bellows is
avoided.

Tie bar (Standard designs B and C)
TYPE 50
Since the rubber bellows is a soft flexible component, under
pressure the expansion joint will always try to move in the axial
direction because of its reaction force (bellows cross section area
x working pressure).

It must be ensured by constructive measures on the piping (roller


bearing, restraining or anchor points) or tie bars directly on the
expansion joint that any over-extension of the bellows is avoided.
See tie bar range on pages 48 and 49.

Vacuum supporting ring


Ladaz type 50 expansion joints are vacuum- resistant.
To prevent the expansion joint bellows being drawn together by
suction at negative pressure, the insertion of a vacuum supporting
ring is necessary for a suction value above 2 m (0.8 bar abs., 20%
negative pressure).

Type 50 PTFE chemical design
TYPE 50
Type 50 in a special design has a PTFE foil liner for effective resistance against
aggressive chemicals.

The PTFE liner is suitable for all commonly used liquids; attention
should be paid to heat resistance. The expansion joint should only be used
in higher pressure ranges (up to max. 6 bar); not safe for vacuums.

A special PTFE supporting ring is available for vacuums, but only for DN
65-300.

Tie bar/Restraints:
It is recommended that these expansion joint elements be installed with
internal bracing. Due to the build up of pressure, elastic deforma- tion occurs
which can distend the conical bellows body. This causes the expansion joint
to either compress or high tensile loads to be exerted on the connecting parts.

KIM Expansion Joint Type 64
Type 64 is a Ladaz Expansion Joint that can be TYPE 64
manufactured to specific design dimensions. There are
no standard dimensions for this particular type. The
overall length is variable and depends on the amount of
movement to be compensated.
The expansion joint is manufactured from prefabricated
foils and depending on the material is vulcanized or
heated in the final form.

Applications:
The diverse materials used make type 64 suitable for a
wide range of applications, e.g. problems when handling
hot gases and the associated condensate in scrubbing and
flue gas systems.

Compared to metal expansion joints, type 64 in the


shortest overall length is capable of absorbing
significant axial and lateral expansion and compensate
assembly inaccuracies. Noise and vibrations from
equipment, e.g. fans, etc., are simultaneously absorbed.

Movement:

axial - axial - lateral ±


= ~ 0,3 x L = ~ 0,05 x L = ~ 0,1 x L

We can improve the movement by corrugation design and choice of material.

31 43
Standard designs:
Type 64 is manufactured in two basic designs:
Firstly, as a hose-type and a flange-type
expansion joint. Both can be manufactured
with flat convex or concave profiles for round
and rectangular piping systems in all sizes. The
material thickness varies depending on the
design between 1mm and 4mm. The
connection surfaces in way of the bellows are
appropriately reinforced, so that trouble-free
connection with clip or flange bolt connection
is possible.

It should also be noted, that the expansion


joints with flange design are available pre-
shaped up to a diameter of 1200mm; for larger
dimensions, these components are supplied flat
so that the flanges can be erected during
assembly.

Applications:
Plant construction, power stations, combustion
gas desulphurization plants, purification plant,
rain water systems, pipe wall penetrations, etc.

Note:
See installation information.
The expansion joints should not be painted or
insulated as this can cause premature failure of
the materials!
In case of enquiries, please specify the
particular design and respective hole
pattern.

KIM Rubber Expansion Joints Tie Bars / Restraints
Under pressure, rubber expansion joints develop a reaction force in
the positive axial direction (effective surface x working pressure)
which for unrestrained expansion joints - Design
A - must be absorbed by the nearest anchor points or roller
bearings. When used for the absorption of vibrations, lateral and
angular expansion as well as noise, it is possible by the
arrangement of restraints to create a controlled installation
situation (controlled expansion absorption, see installation
information).

Our B-M limiter types can be used for all types (except H - only for
type 49).

The diagrams show the various types. Example of the application of a flange design as a

Flameproof protective covers

Types 40, 49, 50, 55 are available in asbestos-free


design approved by the Classification Society.

These accessories protect the rubber expansion joint


against the effects of flames up to 800°C for a period of 30
minutes Expansion Joints together with their flameproof
protective covers satisfy the requirements of the
Classification Society for use on ships, for fire
extinguishing piping in operational buildings or in
pressure booster plants.

Installation information:
The expansion joints are installed in the usual manner. The
protective covers are fitted after installation and cover both
the expansion joint and adjacent pipe flange. Operation Diagram shows open condition.
expansion joints is not hindered as the cover extends to the
pipe, the full movement of the expansion joint can be
absorbed. Special cover and restraint sizes are available
on request.

Deflector sleeve

This should always be used for highly abrasive media or if


strong turbulence is to be avoided.
The deflector sleeve is made in conical form with edge
flange/holed flange, so that the expansion capabilities of the
expansion joint are least affected.

The deflector sleeve length depends on the length of the


expansion joint and the movement to be absorbed (standard
value: expansion joint length - 15 mm corresponds to the
deflector sleeve length).

Installation information:
Gaskets must be fitted. Gap between the buildings
should be arranged according to the deflector.

Attention:
In the case of axial expansion in excess of -15mm, the
mating flange inside diameter must be taken into account
and the deflector sleeve diameter checked.
With lateral expansion, the deflector sleeve diameter
reduces by twice the lateral movement to be absorbed
(standard design for lat. +/-5mm).

Special Parts
Earth Cover

Available for all types with or without tie bar.

The earth cover is a two piece cover, which is especially


designed to protect rubber expansion joints in the earth. It is
designed not to limit expansion joint movement.

Design:
Two-piece cover of S 235 JR G2 (RSt 37-2) or stainless
steel. Fixing takes place with clamps which are
permanently joined to the halves of the covers.

Note:
Easy installation, due to two-piece design.
It must be ensured during installation that downward
drainage is possible.

Safety expansion joint

Available for all types with or without tie bar.


The safety expansion joint is used for aggressive
media for the purpose of leakage monitoring (2-bellows
system).

Pressure balanced expansion joint

Available for all types. The pressure balanced


expansion joint absorbs the reaction forces within the
restraint and is suitable for absorbing axial and lateral
movement.
