Rubber expansion joints can be used in various types of pipelines and are classified in many ways, such as EPDM rubber joints, oil-resistant rubber joints, PTFE-lined rubber joints, and wear-resistant rubber joints. They are used in a wide variety of pipelines, and the appropriate rubber expansion joint is selected based on the pipeline’s operating environment.
For example, our acid and alkali-resistant rubber joints are mainly used in pipelines containing corrosive media. So, how much corrosiveness can our rubber expansion joints withstand? Today, we’ll explain. Corrosive media commonly referred to include sewage, lime slurry, etc., typically with a corrosiveness level below 35%. If this level of corrosiveness is exceeded, then such acid and alkali-resistant rubber expansion joints cannot meet the requirements, and alternative products must be found.
Therefore, when selecting rubber expansion joints, it is essential to fully understand the product’s applicable conditions to choose the appropriate product.
