The document provides information about rubber grades and color coding, as well as the types, applications, and structures of rubber compensators. Rubber compensators are used to reduce thermal and mechanical stress in pipes and system components, absorb vibration and noise, compensate for axial, lateral, and angular movements, and compensate for simultaneous movements in cooling water pipes. The rubber compensator consists of rotating flanges and a rubber bellows with a special rubber rim and various accessories.
This document provides technical details for the Stenflex Type A-1 universal compensator, a device consisting of a rubber bellows with rotating flanges designed to absorb vibration and compensate for pipe movements. The product is available in various nominal diameters (DN 20 to DN 1000) and pressure ratings.
| Max. perm. operating pressure | 16 bar |
|---|---|
| Max. perm. temperature | +100 °C |
| Bursting pressure | > 48 bar |
The maximum permanent operating temperature is +100 °C.
A DN 250 compensator can handle up to 45 mm of axial compression or elongation.
The approximate weight for a DN 600 unit is 90.0 kg.
