EXPANSION JOINT DESIGN
PARAMETERS: MOVEMENT
|
 |
AXIAL COMPRESSION
The dimensional shortening of the expansion joint face-to-face gap parallel
to its longitudinal axis |
|
 |
AXIAL EXTENSION (ELONGATION)
The dimensional displacement of the inlet and the outlet flanges of the
expansion joint perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. |
|
 |
LATERAL
The dimensional displacement of the inlet and the outlet flanges of the
expansion joint perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. |
|
 |
TORSIONAL ROTATION
The twisting of one end of the expansion joint with respect to the other end
about its longitudinal axis. |
|
 |
ANGULAR ROTATION
That movement which occurs when one flange of the expansion joint is moved
to an out-of-parallel position with the opposite flange. |
