FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
After assembly and/or commissioning/recommissioning of the installation, check the tightening torque every 24 hours for 3 to 5 days. Retighten to the correct torque if necessary.
The most alarming sign of visual wear is cracks or fissures exposing the expansion joint's carcass. Checking the hardness with a durometer is another way to monitor the ageing of the expansion joint.
The repair process is delicate. It is recommended to replace the expansion joint.
The ideal pipe flanges are those with a flat face. Mounting on flanges with a raised face, an annular seal, a push-fit connection, or a collar is not recommended. For push-fit flanges, ensure that the end of the pipe is neither protruding nor recessed from the mounting face and that there are no visible welds.
