KXT Type Flexible Single Sphere Rubber Joint

I. Uses of KXT Type Flexible Single Sphere Rubber Joint

The KXT type flexible single sphere rubber joint, also known as a rubber soft joint, rubber shock absorber, rubber expansion joint, etc., is a pipeline joint with high elasticity, high airtightness, resistance to media, and weather resistance. Its main function is to connect pipelines, absorb displacement and vibration generated during pipeline operation, reduce shock and noise, and extend the service life of pipelines. It is widely used in industries such as water supply, drainage, sewage treatment, thermal power, electric power, petroleum, and chemical engineering.

II. Structure and Characteristics of KXT Type Flexible Single Sphere Rubber Joint

The KXT type flexible single sphere rubber joint consists of a sphere and flanges. The sphere is composed of an inner rubber layer, a reinforcement layer, and an outer rubber layer. The inner rubber layer is made of rubber with excellent media resistance, the reinforcement layer uses high-strength, high-elasticity cord fabric, and the outer rubber layer is made of rubber with excellent weather resistance. Additionally, the sphere includes reinforcement rings and steel wire loops to enhance its strength and stability.

The KXT type flexible single sphere rubber joint has the following characteristics:

1. Excellent shock absorption and noise reduction, effectively absorbing displacement and vibration generated during pipeline operation, reducing noise pollution to the surrounding environment;
2. Simple and convenient installation, requiring no special treatment of the pipeline, and can be directly connected;
3. Outstanding media resistance, capable of withstanding corrosion from various chemicals;
4. Good weather resistance, suitable for use in environments ranging from -30°C to 120°C;
5. Long service life, typically over 20 years under normal conditions.

III. Installation and Use of KXT Type Flexible Single Sphere Rubber Joint

1. Before installation, check whether the rubber joint is intact, whether the flanges are flat, and whether the sealing ring is in good condition;
2. During installation, ensure that the centerlines of the flanges and the sphere are on the same axis to avoid eccentricity or distortion, which could affect the normal use of the rubber joint;
3. During installation, avoid scratching the surface of the sphere with sharp objects to prevent compromising the performance and service life of the rubber joint;
4. During use, regularly inspect the rubber joint for signs of aging, cracking, etc., and replace it promptly if any abnormalities are found.
