[0002] Pipe expansion joints are also called expansion joints, expansion joints, and compensators. Pipe expansion joints can expand and contract axially within a certain range, and can also overcome the offset caused by different axial connections of pipelines within a certain angle. They can greatly facilitate the installation and removal of valves and pipelines. They can expand and contract freely within the allowable expansion and contraction range of the pipeline. Once the maximum expansion and contraction is exceeded, they will act as a limit to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline.
