This database section contains properties of various types of expansion joints
Expansion joints can be automatically selected by manufacturer, diameter, pressure and product type.
To sort, select the desired filter from the first line of any database column.
To add compensators into database, the special Excel file should be prepared and filled with data. After that this file can be imported into database. Also expansion joint manufacturers may contact us.
