What Are The Manifestations of The Rubber Joint Damage

What are the manifestations of the damage of the rubber joint?Because the rubber soft joints according to their own material,the use of the environment,tolerance of the medium, artificial maintenance and other reasons,the use of life will be different,in the use of rubber soft joints in the installation process or improper storage,t may be a variety of reasons made into rubber soft joint damage. For example: rubber joints in the outdoor weather exposure,frozen,wind,sand,rain and snow erosion; beyond the scope of tensile; use of excessive grinding joint strength discounts and other causes may cause damage to the soft rubber joints.

The first is the rubber joint leakage; to check the rubber joint flange bolts are tightened, if there is no tightening will cause rubber joint leakage and the ball's wear and tear.

The second is the problem of cracking; many of the pipe joints exposed in the outdoor sun exposure,will cause rubber joint rubber aging, rubber joints of different degrees of cracking,the case of rubber joints is better,and take appropriate protective measures to avoid rubber joints continue to expose in the sun,such as plastic bags or plastic film, as far as possible to delay the aging of rubber joints, prolong the service life.

The third is bubble deformation; some rubber joint use of the environment is long-term immersion in water medium may cause sphere some parts of the bubble deformation,will not affect the rubber joint performance and continue to use,though,but still need regular check, if it is found that the rubber contact header should soak deformation or layer separation, you need to replace the ball as soon as possible.

Fourth is the size of deformation; because the rubber joints in the installation process is not the correct installation of rubber joints caused by large displacement,resulting in the size of the pipe should be adjusted to replace the rubber joint.
