Expansion Joints

The AirTECH Expansion Joints, also called Compensators of Vibrations, are a very useful accessory to apply to Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps.

Their use allows to reduce considerably the effect of the mechanical vibrations generated by the reciprocating motion of the diaphragms. In this way, the pumps can move freely and they can release these vibrations on the vibration damping feet, generating benefits also to the piping lines.

They are composed of a bellows (the standard is 3 convolutes, the others are available on request) stopped between two flanges (not in contact with the pumped liquid). Usually the bellow is made of PTFE or rubber depending on the application and the flanges are made of Carbon Steel, AISI 316 or Polypropylene depending on the plant requirement.

AirTECH offers a complete range starting from 1/2 ” up to 4 ” (including 1 “, 1 ½”, 2 “, 3”) in different designs and materials selected by our technical department for each type of fluid and application.
