TB Global Technologies Ltd. Product Lineup

The "TB Niigata Ball Joint" is used for "absorption of expansion and contraction" and "displacement absorption" in piping for the transport of steam, hot water, and other high-temperature fluids. The ball joint link can also absorb significant reactive forces generated by twisting in the piping and equipment within the piping system. By using a ball joint at the connection between the tank nozzle and the piping, the movement of the piping can be absorbed. Connections between moving equipment and fixed piping, as well as connections between moving piping and fixed equipment, are also possible with a three-joint link. 【Features】 ■ Capable of following two or more plane movements of the piping ■ Small end thrust allows for longer piping lifespan ■ Reduces the number and weight of anchors and guides in the piping system, significantly saving labor costs ■ Provides greater functionality in a smaller space compared to pipe loops ■ Compatible with large diameter and high-pressure specifications. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of our "TB Niigata Ball Joint" used in the piping around storage tanks. In the piping around the tank, loads can occur at the tank nozzles and piping connections due to factors such as tank settlement, ground subsidence, relative displacement with the piping supports, and thermal expansion. By installing this product, it can follow the angular displacement and misalignment of the piping, alleviating stress. It is also effective for alignment and angle adjustment during the replacement of existing piping, contributing to the efficiency of on-site construction.

The TB Niigata ball joint is a highly durable piping joint used in piping systems that transport fluids such as steam, hot water, and sludge. It is designed to absorb expansion and contraction, accommodate displacement, and counteract vibrations and shocks. Its structure allows for simultaneous rotation and tilting while following the movement of the piping, thereby reducing the load on the pipes and connected equipment. With a wealth of delivery records in critical piping used in harsh environments such as power generation, geothermal, oil, petrochemical, steelmaking, and sewage systems, it contributes to the stable operation and longevity of equipment even under severe conditions such as high-temperature and high-pressure fluids, vibrations, twisting, seismic displacement, and ground subsidence. Additionally, it can accommodate areas where displacement or rotation occurs, such as the connection between tank nozzles and piping, the connection between moving equipment and fixed piping, and the connection between moving piping and fixed equipment. The configuration of the ball joint link also allows it to absorb significant reactive forces generated by twisting in the piping or equipment.
