Rubber expansion joints common safety and quality problems

Rubber expansion joints are currently in demand in the pipeline fittings industry are particularly common, rubber expansion joints because of its strong elasticity, mainly used in the irregular pipeline connections, the pipeline in operation with shock absorption, anti-dry. Plus according to the differences in the use of scenes, plastic change method, can play, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance, wear and tear characteristics, which is also some just do not have, the use is very common.
Due to the characteristics of rubber itself, rubber soft joints are easy to aging, or corrosion, so we need to. Regular inspection and replacement. For example, the problem of cracking or splitting of rubber flexible joints. Some small cracks may not be very good. Obviously, our pipes will deteriorate over time after exposure to the sun (mainly UV radiation). If this happens, there will be varying degrees of cracking damage that will require prompt replacement. We should try to avoid exposure to sunlight or wind and rain on the rubber flexible joints! Blister deformation delamination, if there is a small part of the surface blister or deformation, it will not affect the performance of the product, no. Need to repair and replace, only regular inspection and inspection. If the surface of the sphere has a large blister, deformation and / or layer separation, sometimes able to observe the separation of the rubber curtain cloth layer, at this time, also need to replace the rubber soft joint as soon as possible.
It is very important to note that the rubber expansion joint needs to be sealed between it and the pipe before it is installed and then used. Because the seal is good or bad directly affects the life of the rubber expansion joint. Seal sealing treatment is directly related to the quality of the product, affecting the performance of the product and the cost of maintenance costs later. So the user must do a good job of sealing before installation and use, as well as the preparation work before use. Installation of rubber expansion joints must pay attention to the temperature of the environment, high temperature will affect the effectiveness of the use of rubber expansion joints and life. We must pay attention to the quality of the product when installing the rubber expansion joint, try to ensure the quality of the product to be able to use more effect. And if you do not pay attention to these issues, the installation is very troublesome will also affect the life and quality of the product and other issues. So for this situation must pay more attention. And after the installation of rubber expansion joints also pay attention to whether the pipeline construction can be carried out smoothly. After installation must do a good job of waterproofing measures and dust control measures in these two areas should be done, so as to ensure that the rubber expansion joint can be used in normal production without problems, longer service life.
