How Does the Lateral Movement Compensator Joint Work in an Industrial Piping System?
Lateral movement compensators, also known as lateral expansion joints, facilitate sideways movement. They find use in various industries that emit vibrations, jerks, and high temperatures through their pipes. The expansion joints respond to heat fluctuations and keep the pipes in working condition. They also act like buffers against tremors and protect the machines from damage. […]
Lateral Movement in the Waves: Off-Shore Oil Platforms
One of the most demanding operating spaces on earth is the ocean. It is the case for all industries. From constant unpredictable waves and weather, to high exposure to salt and moisture. Piping systems are heavily exposed to factors out in the sea. Hence, they need adequate protection mechanisms. At the heart of this attempt […]
