What are the types of rubber joints? What are the characteristics of each?
Rubber joints are widely used in pipeline systems, and their main function is to compensate and connect between different pipes. In practical application, rubber joints are divided into various types, each with different characteristics and scope of application. In this article, we will introduce several types of rubber joints in common use.
 
1 . Common type rubber joints
Common type rubber joints are the most basic rubber joints, which are mainly made of rubber and steel wire and are suitable for low pressure pipeline connections. Its main features are good sealing, low price and angle adjustment in the process of use. However, because of its simple material, it has a weak pressure resistance and is not suitable for high pressure pipeline connections.
2 . Reinforced rubber joints
Reinforced rubber joints add steel wire reinforcement on the basis of common rubber joints. Its main feature is that it has strong pressure resistance and is suitable for medium and high pressure pipeline connections. However, its stiffness is large and it does not have the angle adjustment function.
3 . Ball-hinged rubber joint
Ball-hinged rubber joint is a kind of spherical hinge joint, whose main material is rubber and steel ball. Its main feature is that it has good angle adjustment function, which can be adjusted in several directions and can withstand large pressure at the same time. However, due to its complicated structure, it is more expensive.
4 . Clamp type rubber joint
Clamp type rubber joints are usually designed with a combination of metal and rubber materials, which are mainly characterized by strong pressure-bearing and corrosion resistance. It adopts clamp design, which makes the connection tighter and not easy to be loosened.
5 . Single arch rubber joint
Single arch rubber joint is a kind of spherical hinged joint, whose main material is rubber and steel ball. Its main feature is that it has good angle adjustment function and can withstand certain pressure, but its angle adjustment ability is slightly inferior compared with ball-hinged rubber joints.
6 . Double-arch rubber joint
Double-arch rubber joint is a kind of spherical hinged joint, whose main material is rubber and steel ball. Its main features are good angle adjustment, ability to withstand large pressure, and good corrosion resistance. However, it is more expensive.
These are the common types of rubber joints, each with different characteristics and scope of application. When choosing rubber joints, it is necessary to make a reasonable choice according to the actual situation to meet the project requirements and improve the efficiency of the whole project. At the same time, when using rubber joints, it is necessary to install and use them in strict accordance with the operating procedures to ensure their normal operation and maximum effectiveness.
