Non-Metallic Expansion Joints
Elastomer (rubber) and Teflon® expansion joints have been specified for many years to accom-modate movement in piping runs and insure efficient systems. Elastomer joints are widely used to provide efficient ways to relieve movement stresses, reduce noise, isolate vibration, compen-sate for misalignment. Teflon joints are used with highly corrosive media, with glass piping, or in systems where space is at a premium.
Elastomeric expansion joints are fabricated from synthetic elastomers and fabric, and are often reinforced with metal. When operating temperatures and pressures exceed 250°F and 200 psig, respectively, rubber should not usually be considered an alternative to metallic expan-sion joints. Within these limits, elastomeric joints do offer advantages compared with metal joints, including:
1. Cycle Life - Many more cycles can be provided, and vibration fatigue is not a concern. 2. Stress Corrosion - They are chemically inert to most common corrosive elements.
3. Resistance to Abrasion and Erosion - They outlast metal joints in this respect.
4. Resistance to External Damage - With elastomer joints, accidental external blows do not cause damage.
5. Space Requirements - Metal joints require a considerably greater face-to-face dimensions.
6. Acoustical Impedance - They absorb a great deal of noise and vibration.
7. Light Weight - They are easy to handle and compact.
8. Low Cost - In general, they are less expensive than metal joints.
Teflon expansion joints also have certain advantages, which include: 1. Chemical Resistance - Molded and machined Teflon connectors are used in corrosive applications due to the inherent resistance of the material to a vast range of chemicals.
2. Acoustical Impedance - They absorb noise and vibration.
3. Temperature Limits - Teflon can withstand temperatures as high as 450° F and as low as -10° F.

ULTRASPHEREThe Ultrasphere is the most widely applied expansion joint available today. For a reasonable cost, it provides good pressure, tempera-ture and movement characteristics. It also helps control pulsation shocks and noise transmission.
The Ultrasphere is spherical in shape allowing pressure to exert itself uniformly in all directions. Bias-ply cord provides strength, a high safety factor, and a low force to move. Precision molding pro-vides a dense, uniform carcass.
Solid plate steel flanges grip the sealing area and provide a fluid tight connection. All flanges are tapped or drilled to mate with 150# or 300# companion flanges. The tapped bolt holes and rotating flanges make installation easy. The arch is self-cleaning, which eliminates the need for a filled arch when solids are present in the stream.
The Ultrasphere comes optional with cables which act as control units*. This unique feature is invaluable in providing you with con-fidence that the joint was adequately specified. It also eliminates the need for installation of control units. (Can be supplied without cables if requested.)
Available in EPDM, neoprene and nitrile rubbers.

ULTRASPHERE TWIN
Ultrasphere Twin Unions are used for connecting pipes and equipment where threaded union ends are preferred. They are made of neoprene and nylon and are resistant to ozone and aging. They also accommodate thermal movement and misalign-ment.
The Ultrasphere Twin is used exactly as the stan-dard Ultrasphere. It allows greater compression, elongation and angular movement. Its unique shape and longer length increases acoustic resis-tance and dampens hydraulic surge and shock.
Like the Ultrasphere, the Ultrasphere Twin comes optional with cables which act as control units. This unique feature is invaluable in providing you with confidence that the joint was adequately specified. It also eliminates the need for control units.
Available in EPDM, neoprene and nitrile rubbers.

FLEXTRA 150The Flextra 150 differs from the standard spool type in a few ways. There is no metal reinforcing imbed-ded in the carcass, and pressure is contained by using an integral sleeve on the back-up flange. The arch is much wider than that of a conventional joint, which provides greater movement.
It is also available with a filled arch that reduces movement (see page 17). Flat face flanges integral with the body mate to 125/150# flanges.
Available in butyl and EPDM rubbers.

ULTRASPOOLThe versitile Flexicraft Ultraspool expansion joint is constructed with high strength fabric and elasto-mer reinforced with metal rings. The flanges are integral with the body and utilize metal retaining rings. Standard flange drilling mates with 125/150# flanges.
The joint can be made in custom lengths and with special flanges. Multiple arches are available to handle greater movements. The joints can also be custom made with a permanent offset to compensate for grossly misaligned piping.
Flexicraft Ultraspool joints may be supplied with a soft rubber arch filler to prevent the collection of solid materials in the arch, however this does result in a reduction of normal movement (see page 19).
Available in EPDM, neoprene, butyl, nitrile and viton rubbers.

CONCENTRIC/ECCENTRIC REDUCERSThe Flexicraft Rubber Reducer connects unequal size pipes, and is sometimes also called a tapered expansion joint. These joints eliminate the need for metallic reducers and at the same time provide sound and vibration isolation and expansion com-pensation.
A high strength synthetic fabric is used to reinforce the body. Flanges are drilled to standard ANSI dimensions and all joints are provided with metal retaining rings.

DUCT EXPANSION JOINTSFlexicraft Duct Expansion Joints are available in round and square configurations in a variety of styles to allow different movement and pressure ratings. They are used in duct systems and as fan connectors, and are expected to experience lower pressures than our Ultraspool designs.
A wide selection of materials and options are available. Because so many variations are possible, they are designed and manufactured as required. Please contact the factory to discuss your application.
Retaining rings/backup bars are required for these joints, and are furnished by Flexicraft. Normal design has 2” wide x 3/8” thick carbon steel rings drilled to your requirements. Variations can be provided if needed.
Sleeve style joints can also be provided, which use bands or backing bars without flanges. Contact the factory for details.

Construction Details
ASSEMBLY TERMINOLOGYAn Ultraspool Expansion Joint cross section is illustrated to show construction details typical of elastomer joints. Additional details for the other non-metallic joints are provided with the product descriptions.
Tube: A seamless, fluid tight tube that extends to the outside edges of both flanges. The tube can be designed to cover service conditions for chemicals, petroleum, sewage, gases and abra-sive materials.
Carcass: The flexible and supporting fabric and elastomer member between the tube and cover.
Carcass Reinforcing: Metal rings or wire imbedded in the carcass that strengthen the joint.
Cover: The surface of the joint is formed from synthetic rubber to protect the joint from outside damage. Special polymers can be supplied to resist chemicals, oils, sunlight, acid fumes or ozone.
Integral Flange: Smooth full faced rubber flanges provide a tight seal without gaskets. All units are available with standard or special drillings.
* For larger sizes, contact factory.
Retaining Rings: Steel or ductile iron are standard with all spool type expansion joints. They provide a metal backing surface for the rubber flange to allow uniform sealing against the mating flange.
Arch: The arch allows the movement for expansion joints. For more movement, multiple arch units are available. Arches can also be filled to prevent sediment build-up.

Construction Details
DESIGNS FOR REDUCTION OF TURBULENCE AND ABRASIONThe Standard Spool Type joint may be modified to reduce possible turbulence and to prevent the col-lection of solid materials that may settle from the process fluid.
Filled Arch Type: The spool joints may be supplied with a bonded-in-place soft rubber filler to provide a smooth interior bore. Filled arch joints also have a seamless tube so the arch filler cannot be dislodged during service. Filled arches, built as an integral part of the carcass, decrease the flexibility of the joint and should be used only when necessary. Movements of expansion joints with filled arches are limited to 50% of the normal movements of comparable size expansion joints with unfilled (open) arches.
Drop-In, Replaceable Elastomeric Type: A sepa-rate flanged liner, dimensioned to the I.D. of the expansion joint, can provide the same advantages as the Filled Arch Type; except movements are not reduced. Not recommended for vacuum applications.
Note: Some of this information has been taken from the Fluid Sealing Associations Handbook on Non-Metallic Expansion Joints.
“Top Hat” Liner: This product consists of a sleeve extending through the bore of the expansion joint with a Van Stone or a full face flange on one end. Constructed of hard rubber, metal or TFE; it reduces frictional wear of the expansion joint and provides smooth flow, reducing turbulence. This type sleeve should not be used where high viscosity fluids, such as tars, are being transmitted. These fluids may cause “packing-up or caking” of the arch area, which reduces movements and in turn may cause premature expansion joint failure. Baffles are rarely required on rubber expansion joints.
CONTROL UNITS (TIE RODS)Unrestrained, most elastomer joints will extend when pressurized. It is preferable to anchor the system, however, when anchoring is not desirable or practical, control units must be used.
Gusset plates are bolted behind the mating flanges and control rods are used between them to limit extension of the joint. The number of rods required depends on the joint size and operating pressure of the system.
See page 18 for Dimensions and Ratings.
Standard control units are not required for those ultrasphere models supplied with cables. The cabling acts as the control unit.
For more information on control units, see page 20.

Anchors. Figure 4 illustrates a simple piping system. You will notice that in all cases, solid anchoring is pro-vided wherever the pipeline changes direction and that the expansion joints in that line are located as close as possible to those anchor points. In addition, following the expansion joints, and again as close as is practical, pipe guides are employed to prevent displacement of the pipe-line. It should be pointed out that the elbows adjacent to the pump are securely supported by the pump base so that no piping forces are transmitted to the flanges of the pump itself. Anchors shown at the 90° and the 45° bend in the pipeline must be solid anchors designed to with-stand the thrust developed in the line together with any other forces imposed on the system at this point.
Calculation of Thrust. When expansion joints are installed in the pipeline, the static portion of the thrust is calculated as a product of the area of the I.D. of the arch of the expansion joint times the maximum pressure (design or test) that will occur with the line. The result is a force expressed in pounds. Refer to Figure 1.
Branch Connection Anchors. Figure 2 is another illus-tration of the proper anchoring that should be provided in a line with a branch connection. The anchor shown at the tee and elbow connections must be designed to with-stand both the thrust and any other forces imposed on the system at these points. Again emphasis is placed on the relative location of the joints, their anchoring points and the pipe guides.
ANCHORING
Definition and Purpose. A control unit assembly is a system of two or more control rods (tie rods) placed across an expansion joint from flange to flange to mini-mize possible damage to the expansion joint caused by excessive motion of the pipeline. This excessive motion could be caused by the failure of an anchor or some other piece of equipment in the pipeline. Figure 3 shows the proper assembly of an expansion joint with control unit details. The control rod assemblies are set at the maxi-mum allowable expansion and/or contraction of the joint and will absorb the static pressure thrust developed at the expansion joint. When used in this manner, they are an additional safety factor, minimizing possible failure of the expansion joint and possible damage to the equipment. Control units will adequately protect the joints, but the user should be sure that pipe flange strength is sufficient to withstand total force that will be encountered. The term “Control Unit” is synonymous with the term “Tie Rod” as defined by the standards of the Expansion Joint Manufacturer’s Association (EJMA).
Use in Restraining the Piping System. Control units may be required to limit both extension and compression movements.
A. Extension. Control units must be used when it is not feasible in a given structure to provide adequate anchors in the proper location. In such cases, the static pres-sure thrust of the system will cause the expansion joint to extend to the limit set by the control rods which will then preclude the possibility of further motion that would over-elongate the joint. Despite the limiting action that control rods have on the joint, they must be used when proper anchoring cannot be provided. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that rubber expansion joints, by virtue of their function, are not designed to take end thrusts and, in all cases where such are likely to occur, proper anchoring is essential. If this fact is ignored, premature failure of the expansion joint is a foregone conclusion.
B. Compression. Pipe sleeves can be installed over the control rods. The purpose of the sleeve is to prevent excessive compression in the expansion joint. The length of this pipe sleeve should be such that the expansion joint cannot be compressed beyond the maximum allow-able compression figure stated by the manufacturer. See Figure 3.

CONTROL UNITS (continued)
Illustration of the Use of Control Rods. Figure 4 dem-onstrates the type of piping connections that must be used in the event it is impossible to employ anchoring. The anchor point at the upper 90° elbow in the discharge line has been eliminated. In this situation, it is neces-sary to employee properly designed control units with the joints located in this non-anchored line. Without the use of these control units, the pipeline between the pump and the anchor, at the 45° bend, would be severely displaced due to elongation in the flexible rubber expansion joint. This elongation would proceed until the joints rupture. The use of control units in this case permits expansion of the pipeline in both the vertical and horizontal direc-tion between the pump and the anchor, at the 45° bend. However, it does preclude the possibility of contraction in these respective lines as the further extension of the expansion joint is impossible because of the control units.
