Pressure type! Absorbs vibrations, noise, expansion, and displacement in piping systems! Active in vibration reduction for general-purpose pumps and blowers in factory equipment, as well as absorbing expansion in heat-resistant resin piping!
Expansion joints (rubber joints) are used for preventing vibrations and noise generated from piping systems, absorbing expansion and displacement due to temperature and pressure changes, as well as accommodating various dimensional fluctuations during installation and mitigating or preventing impacts from earthquakes and ground subsidence. They are considered essential components in piping installations. The E-P joint was launched in 1970 (Showa 45) as a low-pressure R type for elevated water tanks, and since then, we have added new products to meet customer needs, including the F type, which is an integrated product with the high-pressure P type PTFE. Today, our products are used by a wide range of customers across various industries, from household drinking water to chemical plant piping. 【Features】 1. Stable durability due to the combination of strong reinforcing fibers and reinforcing steel wires. 2. Use of EPDM for the inner and outer rubber, providing excellent chemical resistance and weather resistance. 3. Excellent installation workability due to the use of loose flanges.
