Angular expansion joints are specially designed expansion elements with flexible movement capabilities, used to control thermal expansion in piping systems. These joints safely absorb expansion in the system by converting axial movement into angular motion in a plane perpendicular to the pipe axis. In doing so, they help preserve the structural integrity of the pipeline and minimize the adverse effects of thermal stresses.

Angular expansion joints are primarily used to accommodate angular movements in a single plane (e.g., perpendicular to the pipeline). However, with special designs, it is also possible to absorb movements occurring in multiple directions. In this regard, they offer flexible solutions tailored to the system’s needs and are suitable for a wide range of applications.

System configurations using two or more angular expansion joints together provide high performance, especially in long-distance pipelines and applications with significant thermal expansion. These combinations make it possible to safely and effectively absorb large amounts of thermal movement.

Additionally, when used in conjunction with fixed points and direction-changing elements, the durability and service life of the system are significantly enhanced.
