Flanged "U" Type Expansion Joints These two styles of turbine to condenser connectors are used in power stations as a flexible connection between turbine and condenser where bolting flanges have been specified. The "U" type configuration is a superior design which is long lasting and very durable. Constructed of multiple layers of reinforcing fabric and the finest elastomers available, these joints are custom fabricated by highly skilled craftsmen to exacting specifications and dimensional tolerances. Each "U" type expansion joint is designed for the specific application where it is going to be used, and can be provided with fabricated steel retaining rings specially designed for the connector. These are employed to insure support against pressure, and to provide a tight seal to prevent collapse from vacuum conditions that exist in condensers. The internal or external connector can absorb movements of 1" compression and 1/2" lateral. |
Field Splicing "U" Type Expansion Joints At La Favorite Industries we offer field splicing of "U" type expansion joints in cases where an endless piece cannot be installed due to internal piping interference. We use a hot molded splice employing the original materials of construction. This is a reliable low cost method developed at La Favorite Industries for vulcanizing sections of large joints in our factory. It has been proven in field applications with excellent results. Failures due to inadequate adhesion and delaminations are virtually eliminated because the materials used in the initial building of the joint are the same ones used in the splice, thus providing continuity and compatibility. It is not recommended using outsiders or conveyor belt splicers for this work since they are not familiar with our rubber compounds or construction. This is highly technical work and should be left to the experts. |
