(b) Bending, and (c) Shear
Because different types of expansion joints serve different functions, it is critical to choose the right expansion joint, with the right size for the service. The designer should work with the expansion joint manufacturer to select and size the joint. Typically, the designer will specify pressure, temperature, maximum differential movement of joint ends (translations and rotations), and number of cycles of movement. The manufacturer will help select the right joint for the application. The choice of materials (corrosion resistance, compatibility with process stream) is the designer’s responsibility.
