Pipe compensator
Pipe compensators, also known as pipeline expansion joints, are devices used in piping systems to absorb thermal expansion or contraction of the pipe. They are designed to prevent damage to the pipeline and surrounding equipment caused by thermal stresses. Pipe compensators are typically made of materials like stainless steel, rubber, or PTFE, depending on the application and the media being transported.
These compensators are widely used in various industries such as petrochemical, HVAC, and power generation. They help to reduce stress on piping systems, extend the life of pipes and equipment, and improve the overall safety and reliability of the system. Proper selection and installation of pipe compensators are crucial for the efficient operation of piping systems.
