The KXT-type rubber flexible joints specifically designed for fire protection piping systems possess the following characteristics and installation methods:
Characteristics:
1.High Pressure Resistance: The KXT-type
Rubber Expansion Joints have a wide operating pressure range, which has been increased from the original 1.0Mpa～1.6Mpa to 2.5Mpa～6.0Mpa, enabling them to withstand high working pressures.
2.Good Elasticity: They exhibit excellent elasticity, effectively absorbing vibrations and displacements in the pipeline, thereby reducing noise and vibrations.
3.Large Displacement Capacity: The KXT-type rubber flexible joints can accommodate significant displacements, including axial, lateral, and angular displacements, making them suitable for connecting various pipeline systems.
4.Effective Vibration Absorption and Noise Reduction: Due to their good elasticity, these joints effectively absorb vibrations and noise in the pipeline, enhancing the operational stability of the system.
5.Easy Installation: Their well-designed structure allows for simple and quick installation.
6.Wide Application Range: The KXT-type rubber flexible joints are widely used in water supply and drainage, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, fire protection compressor pipelines, as well as in various fields such as chemicals, construction, petroleum, light and heavy industries.
Installation Methods:
1.Select the Appropriate Model: Before installation, it is essential to choose the appropriate model based on the pipeline's working pressure, connection method, medium, and compensation requirements, and determine the quantity based on noise reduction and displacement needs.
2.Inspect the Pipeline and Fittings: Before installation, inspect the pipeline and fittings to ensure they meet the requirements and are free from damage or mismatches.
3.Tighten Bolts Symmetrically During Installation: When installing bolts, gradually tighten them in a symmetrical manner (e.g., six or four bolts) to prevent local leaks.
4.Prevent Exceeding Displacement Limits: During installation, strictly avoid exceeding the displacement limits to ensure the normal operation and service life of the
Rubber Joint.
5.Flange Connection: When connecting via flanges, ensure that the reinforcement rings at both ends of the ball are fully engaged in the flange grooves to prevent the ball from being pulled out of the flange when the pipeline is under pressure.
By detailing the above characteristics and installation methods, we can ensure the correct installation and efficient operation of the KXT-type Rubber Soft Joint specifically designed for fire protection piping systems.
