Whenever thermal or mechanical alterations cannot be absorbed in a pipe system, expansion joints must be used to compensate for these changes. Where these are not considered, an overload can occur in the pipe system which, in extreme cases, can cause deformation, destruction or system error. Rubber and stainless-steel expansion joints are used in pipe systems to compensate for expansion, movement due to settlement and fitting inaccuracies. Choice of type depends on the application and the working conditions e.g., pressure, temperature, and media.
