Flexatherm Elbow Type Pressure Balanced Expansion Joints are highly engineered solutions designed to accommodate thermal expansion while simultaneously neutralizing the pressure thrust on piping systems. This specific configuration is used when the expansion joint is located at a change in direction (an elbow) and where the design of the piping or connected equipment (such as turbines or pumps) cannot withstand the high forces generated by internal pressure.
