| Metrasphere Joint/Flexible
Connector
|
| Can your
engineered pipe system stand the pressure? Protect pumps form temperature and
pressure changes, and reduce noise and vibration, with metrasphere. The
Metrasphere joint/flexible connector provides 225 PSI at temperatures up to 230
F! | |

The Metrasphere is the most widely applied expansion joint/flexible
connector in the industry today. It provides the greatest pressure, temperature
and movement, at a very reasonable cost. The Metrasphere's resiliency also helps
control pulsation shocks and noise transmission.
Constructed of neoprene and nylon (other materials available), the
spherical shape allows pressure to exert itself uniformly in all directions, thus
reducing the force exerted on pipelines and equipment. Bias-ply tire cord provides
strength, a high safety factor, and low force to move. Precision molding provides
a dense, uniform carcass.
Solid plate steel flanges grip the sealing area and provide a fluid
tight connection. All flanges are tapped or drilled to mate with 150# or 300#
companion flanges. The tapped bolt holes and rotatable flanges make installation
easy. The arch is self-cleaning, thus eliminating the need for filled arch when
solids are present in the stream. |
