limit rubber joint flanged (single/double sphere) other be called Use of Control Units with Rubber Expansion Joints.it is a system of two or more control rod units (limit rods, tie rods or compression sleeves) placed across an expansion joint from flange to flange to minimize possible damage caused by excessive motion of a pipeline. The control unit assemblies can be set at the maximum allowable expansion and/or contraction of the rubber expansion joint. When used in this manner, control units are an additional safety factor and can minimize possible damage to adjacent equipment.
Rubber expansion joints should be installed between two fixed anchor points in a piping system. The pipe system must be rigidly anchored on both sides of the expansion joint to control expansion or contraction of the line. Piping anchors must be capable of withstanding the line thrusts generated by internal pressure or wide temperature fluctuations.
When proper anchoring cannot be provided, CONTROL UNITS ARE REQUIRED. For un-anchored piping systems nuts shall be tightened snug against rod plate to prevent over-extension due to pressure thrust created by expansion joint. control unit configurations supplied by Yu-xiang and are commonly used with rubber expansion joints in piping systems.
