ANGULAR EXPANSION JOINTS
These Expansion Joints are used to compensate for the Angular movements of the piping.
The Hinged type is used where angular movement is restricted to one plane only.
  
The Gimbal type is used to compensate the angular movements in all planes.
HINGED TYPE ANGULAR EXPANSION JOINTS
  

  • Angular movement is restricted to one plane.
      

  • The Axial and Lateral forces are eliminated by the hinge construction.
      

  • There are combined applications of in-plane or orthogonal-planes.
      

  • During installation care should be taken 
    for the plane of movement.
 
GIMBAL TYPE ANGULAR EXPANSION JOINTS
  
  • Angular movements are allowed in all planes.
      
  • The Axial and Lateral forces are eliminated by the gimbal construction.
      
  • There are combined applications of two or more joints.
      
  • Installation is not sensitive to the piping plane.
