Universal Unrestrained Expansion Joints MWD & MFD Series

The MWD and MFD are universal unrestrained expansion joints that are made up of two bellows joined by a central pipe. They allow for axial, lateral, and angular movements but do not restrain pressure thrust, so adequate anchors and guides must be provided. The MWD has welding ends while the MFD has flanged ends. They can accept large amounts of lateral deflection.

Universal Unrestrained Expansion Joints MWD & MFD Series


Description
Also known as the UNIVERSAL UN-TIED EXPANSION JOINT this model is made up of two bellows joined together by a central pipe. Although it can be used to absorb any combination of the three basic movements it is mainly used to absorb large LATERAL MOVEMENTS. The amount of lateral deection that can be accepted is a function of the degree of angulation each bellows can absorb and the distance between the bellows or length of the central pipe. It does not restrain pressure thrust so adequate anchors and guides must be provided and they can be used only in a piping systems that incorporate correctly designed anchors and pipe alignment guides

MWD This type of Expansion Joint is made up of two bellows joined together by a central pipe. provided with welding ends.
