What is a pipe compensator and what is it used for?

A pipe compensator – also known as an expansion joint, flexible joint, or rubber expansion joint – is a flexible pipeline element installed between two fixed pipe sections to absorb axial, lateral, and angular movements caused by thermal expansion and contraction. At the same time, a rubber expansion joint acoustically decouples pumps and machines from the pipe network, preventing the transmission of vibrations and structure-borne noise into the building structure. Fergo supplies rubber expansion joints from DN25 to DN500 with flanged connections PN10/16 as well as socket versions for particularly fast and straightforward installation.
