Features

- The Gimbals expansion joint is basically the same as the hinge type, except that instead of being limited to deflection in only one plane. It contains two sets of hinge pins or pivots, the axis of each set perpendicular to the other. Each set of pins is connected to each other with a central gimbals ring, in much the same way that a universal joint on an automobile works. This unit provides the same type of restraint and resistance to axial forces, such as the pressure thrust, and to shear forces as the hinge type.

■ Application

- Steam, cold water, hot water, and other pipelines.

■ Pressure

- 0.2MPa to 0.8 MPa
