How to install and maintain rubber flexible joints?
Installation requirements for rubber flexible joints:
1. During the installation process of adhesive bonding, it is prohibited to install beyond the limit value.
2. When installing rubber joints on flat ground, suspended, or vertically, the actual axial displacement pressure of the rubber flexible joint should be less than the support force of the pipeline. Otherwise, anti pull devices should be installed to prevent compression and pulling during operation.
3. The pipeline should have fixed supports or fixed supports, and the force of the fixed supports should be greater than the axial force. In both vertical and overhead installations, corresponding fixed brackets and load-bearing brackets should be installed on both ends of the product to prevent it from being pulled off after being pressed. The installation bolts should be symmetrically and gradually tightened to prevent local leakage. During installation, keep away from heat sources and strictly prohibit the use of media that do not meet product requirements.
Rubber flexible joint maintenance
1. Rubber flexible joints, especially connecting valves, are prone to damage due to long-term exposure to various media during use, so daily maintenance work should be done well.
2. Rubber joints are mainly products made of natural and synthetic rubber. In terms of storage, in addition to being kept away from direct sunlight and in a cool and dry place, it is also necessary to keep away from strong acids and alkalis.
3. In addition, the method to extend the life of rubber is to apply some talcum powder on its surface when the rubber joint is not in use. Didn’t you see that there is a layer of white on the bagged balloon and hair tie rubber band you just bought? That white is talcum powder. Whether it’s talcum powder or not, it’s economical and convenient. In the actual installation process, to extend the performance and service life of the rubber flexible joint, it can make the rubber flexible joint last longer.
