Our rubber joint material

Our rubber joints are made from first-hand rubber raw materials, not second-hand materials. Additionally, our rubber joints use high-quality natural rubber, not low-quality alternatives. Furthermore, our rubber content exceeds 80%, while many manufacturers lower the rubber content to reduce costs. This aspect cannot be identified by appearance alone.

Our rubber joints have no bubbles, cracks, burrs, or other defects. The surface is smooth and even, without any obvious irregularities or appearance flaws, ensuring good sealing performance and a long service life.

Our rubber joints have high tensile strength, capable of withstanding the tension and compression forces during the operation of equipment. They will not experience issues such as breakage or cracking, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and production.

Reliable & strong

Our rubber joints feature a structural skeleton layer made of multiple layers of polyester cord fabric, with the connections reinforced by steel rings made of multiple strands of steel wire, effectively preventing detachment.

The vaccum ring of rubber joint

The vaccum ring of rubber joint

The situation where the rubber joint needs to be equipped with a negative pressure ring usually occurs in an environment where the pipeline system may have negative pressure. Negative pressure refers to the situation where the air inside the pipeline is sharply reduced due to some reason, forming a suction state. If the rubber joint cannot resist the negative pressure in this case, it may be sucked flat, affecting the normal operation of the pipeline.

Specifically, the following are some application scenarios where negative pressure rings may be required on rubber joints: vacuum pipe systems, where the pressure inside the pipe is lower than atmospheric pressure. Negative pressure areas may be temporarily formed at the inlet and outlet of water pumps, especially when starting or stopping the pump. Certain industrial processes, such as gas discharge or suction operations, may cause the pressure inside the pipe to drop. The function of the negative pressure ring is to protect the rubber ball from being sucked flat when encountering negative pressure, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the pipeline and improving the applicability and safety factor of the rubber joint. When installing the negative pressure ring, the appropriate material should be selected and ensured to be installed correctly to provide additional protection in corrosive pipes.

Test table

The pressure test of rubber joint

After conducting an initial 25kg rubber joint burst pressure test, we were surprised to find that it withstood a pressure as high as 8.9 MPa, far exceeding our expectations. In industrial production, the performance of rubber joints often determines the stability and safety of the entire system. Such outstanding performance undoubtedly gives us great confidence in the quality of this rubber joint.

To further understand its performance, we decided to conduct a series of more rigorous tests. Under simulated extreme conditions, the rubber joint not only demonstrated excellent compression resistance but also exhibited good elasticity and wear resistance. Even under prolonged high-load operation, it was able to maintain stable performance without any noticeable signs of aging or damage.

Rubber expansion joint hardness test

The hardness of rubber joint

The hardness of a rubber joint refers to its compression resistance, typically measured using a durometer. A good rubber joint should have an appropriate hardness, neither too hard nor too soft. If the rubber joint is too hard, it will be difficult to bend and connect during installation, potentially causing damage. On the other hand, if the rubber joint is too soft, it may become deformed, aged, or cracked during use, affecting its lifespan and sealing performance.

The rubber joints in our factory are made with our own rubber compound formulations. The standard rubber hardness is around 60, and our hardest ones can reach approximately 80.

What is the hardness of rubber flex joint

The tensile strength of a rubber joint refers to its ability to resist stretching, typically measured through a tensile test. A good rubber joint should have a high tensile strength, capable of withstanding the tension and compression forces during the operation of equipment. If the tensile strength of the rubber joint is insufficient, it may easily break or crack, which would affect the normal operation of the equipment and production.

Every batch of rubber raw materials for our rubber expansion joints undergoes tensile strength sampling tests to prevent rubber cracking.

Can you customized the rubber joint according the drawing ?

We can provide customized services based on the drawings. For old pipelines, rubber joints often require replacement. If you have the drawings, you can send them to us, and we will produce according to the drawings and assembly requirements. Since molds vary between manufacturers, we can guarantee smooth installation with minimal tolerances, but we cannot ensure that the joints will be exactly identical. For new pipeline applications, the process is much simpler. You only need to provide the pipeline diameter and the required length, and we will quickly ship based on the stock availability of rubber joints.

Common rubber joint problems and solutions

The following are some common problems with rubber joints. We have listed three examples and given corresponding solutions and prevention measures.

01

without negative pressure ring, the sphere issucked flat

Solution:
If there is negative pressure in the pipeline, a negative pressure ring needs to be added

without negative pressure ring, the sphere issucked flat

02

The quality of the rubber ball is not up to standard

Solution:
Replace high-quality rubber flexible joints and refuse to use low-quality and cheap rubber joints.

The quality of the rubber ball is not up to standard

03

The rubber joint is severely deformed and leaking

Solution:
The pipeline pressure is too high, resulting in rupture. A PN25 pressure rubber joint should be used.

There are many aspects to consider when choosing a rubber flexible joint.
  • First, you need to consider the working conditions of the pipeline, including pressure, temperature, medium and other factors.
  • Secondly, the diameter and length of the pipeline are also important factors in choosing a rubber flexible joint. Pipes of different diameters and lengths require rubber flexible joints of different models and lengths.
  • In addition, the medium operating environment and connection method of the pipeline also need to be considered. Finally, the brand and quality of the rubber flexible joint are also important factors in selection.
  • Usually there will be mark details on the flange body, just take a photo of the mark details. If you know the PCD and the number of holes, that would be even better.

    1. Before installation, ensure that the equipment environment is in a safe state.
    2. Ensure that the contact surface is smooth and does not damage the rubber ball.
    3. The head of the nut is on one side of the rubber ball to prevent the screw from damaging the rubber ball.
