KE-MASTERFLEX^® rubber expansion joints are flexible connectors made from natural or synthetic elastomers in which special fabrics are embedded  to provide physical reinforcement.

Rubber expansion joints provide a proven and flexible solution to accommodate many types of movements and requirements of industrial plant and equipment.

These include:

• Accommodating for pressure loads
• Neutralising axial, lateral and angular stress 
• Reducing noise
• Isolating sources of vibration
• Compensating for misalignment at plant start up
• Prolonging the life of motive equipment

They are used in all systems transporting fluids, slurries or gases under pressure, at ambient pressure or under vacuum over a wide range of temperatures.

Application areas are:

• Air conditioning, heating and ventilating systems in industrial buildings, hospitals, hotels and on board ships
• Central and ancillary power generating stations in industrial buildings, factories, ships and off-shore
• Sewage disposal and water treatment plant, pumps, etc.
• Process piping in pulp and paper manufacture.
