• When it comes to industrial piping systems, non
  metallic expansion joints are an essential
  component. Non metallic expansion joints allow
  for the movement of pipes while also containing
  pressure and temperature changes in
  high-temperature applications. They can be used
  to reduce vibration, and noise levels, and
  protect against system failure due to excessive
  pipe movements caused by thermal cycling or
  seismic activities.
• Furthermore, they provide superior flexibility
  and improved resistance to corrosion, in
  comparison with traditional metallic expansion
  joints. This makes them a great choice for
  industries dealing with hazardous materials or
  highly corrosive environments.

• Types of Non Metallic Expansion Joints

There are various types of non metallic expansion
joints available on the market today. Depending
on the specific application requirements,
different types can be used to provide optimal
performance. The most common varieties are-

• Rubber Expansion Joints These expansion joints
  are made from rubber and offer high flexibility,
  vibration isolation, and noise reduction
  capabilities. They can be used in a wide range of
  applications, including water piping systems,
  steam distribution lines, air and exhaust piping
  systems, chemical processing plants, and more.

• Advantages of Non Metallic Expansion Joints

• Non metallic expansion joints offer several
  advantages over traditional metallic varieties-
• High Corrosion Resistance They are constructed
  from materials that offer superior corrosion
  resistance properties. This makes them an
  excellent choice for applications that involve
  highly corrosive liquids or gases, such as
  chemical processing plants.
• Cost Effective Non metallic expansion joints are
  typically much more cost effective than their
  metallic counterparts. This is due to the fact
  that they require less installation time and
  maintenance, resulting in lower overall costs.

Finding the Right Expansion Joints Manufacturer
When it comes time to purchase such expansion
joints, it is important to find an experienced
manufacturer who is capable of providing
high-quality products. To ensure the highest
level of quality, it is recommended that you
conduct some research prior to selecting a
supplier. Look for companies that specialize in
customizing and manufacturing expansion joints
from materials such as silicone or rubber.
