Expansion joints
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.
WILLBRANDT is one of the leading suppliers in Europe, we deliver to a wide range of industries and purposes. We have working partners around the world and can therefore also serve our customers outside Europe with high quality deliverances.

Available are also various qualities that are adapted for specific media (for drinking water, oil and district heating and wastewater).
Accessories
We also deliver accessories to our expansion joints.
Pipes
Improves flow rate and reduces pressure loss. Also protects the compensator from increased wear in connection with high solids and abrasive media.
Ground cover
Used as a protective cover for compensators in the ground, to maintain the full functionality of the compensators.
Potential equalization
Acts as an electric bridge over the bellows, to avoid technical errors and earthing problems.
Vacuum support coils and rings
Prevents suction of the compensator bellows by negative pressure.
Fireproof protective cover
Especially for use on ships as fire protection (for rubber compensators).
Threaded rods and length limiter
Reduces excessive movement, vibration or reduces noise.
