About Product
The gimbal expansion joint is the most reliable expansion joint since it is capable of absorbing angular motion in all the planes. Although single gimbal expansion joint can be used in isolation the most common applications use a pair of gimbal expansion joints to absorb a complex multi-plane motion in a piping system. In adjacent figure Gimbal Expansion Joints are utilized in a pair to absorb the thermal expansion from the two horizontal piping arms. However note that the thermal growth of the vertical.
To avoid this deflection in the horizontal piping arms one or more hinged expansion joints can be installed in the horizontal arms of the piping system.
The speciality of the gimbal expansion joints is that they are fundamentally designed to perform the function of accepting angular movement in any plane. They are quite similar to hinged expansion joints except for the fact that unlike hinged expansion joints, gimbal expansion joints are not restricted to deflection in only one plane and allow bending and angulation in any plane. Gimbal expansion joints are generally preferred to be used in pairs so that they can hold, for instance, two sets of hooks pins, pivots, the shaft of each set perpendicular to the another.
Pliant Bellows is one such gimbal expansion joints supplier that manufactures its products following the guidelines postulated by the Expansion Joints Manufacturers Association (EJMA). The framework of all our commodities is accurate and precise designed to serve proper buoyancy.
