Movement Capability

1. The degree of Angular movement is based on the maximum extension shown.
2. If greater movements are designed, expansion joints can be supplied with two, three or four arches in size of 100A and larger. Can be supplied with two, three or four arches. Relatively longer "Face-To-Face" length dimensions are incorporated into the design of multiple Arch Type expansion joints.
3. To calculate approximate movement of multiple Arch Type expansion joints, take the movement shown in the above table and multiply by the number of arches.

Spring Rate
1. Spring rates required to move expansion joints are based on zero pressure conditions and room temperature in the pipe line.
