Steam Expansion Joints

Steam expansion joints operate under extreme conditions where temperatures exceed 300°C and, in many cases, surpass 450°C. Piping systems carrying steam experience significant thermal expansion, and without a properly engineered expansion joint, the resulting stresses can damage valves, boilers, turbines, and the piping itself.
