SCS OMe dinaiton Introduction ‘The PTFE (polytetrafuorethylene) expansion Joints DINAFLON model DJE are designed to Absorb axial, lateral and angular movements and vibrations in piping or equipment working Under varied pressure and temperature conditions. Consisting of a PTFE bellows, elastic ‘Component of the expansion joint, formed by ‘molding thin wal pure PTFE pipes by means of extrusion, and flanged carbon steel ends, representing the ideal solution for absorbing thermal and/or mechanical movements with reduced transmitted forces and moments. Specially recommended for systems ‘operating with highly corrosive media and/or Under atmospheres or environments with high ‘chemical corrosion. ‘The PTFE expansion joints model DJE-02, DJE-03, DJE-04 and DJE-05, so called due to having 2, 3,4 and 5 convolutions respectively, Include a wide range of diameters, pressures. and temperatures, combined to assure ‘excelent operation performance, indepenent of the applied severity degres. Advantages of the use ‘Among the various advantages provided by the PTFE expansion joints mode! DJE, are: + Excellent ani-corrosive behavior + Capacity for operation with temperatures up to 200°C. = Absorption of large conjugate movements, ‘with shor instalation length and minimum, ‘spring rates. - High absorption of mechanical and sound vibrations. = Low weight. No need to use sealing gaskets. ‘Typical Applications CCentritugal Pumps In the suction of pumps working with nitric and sulfuric acid in storage tanks, the PTFE ‘expansion joints absorb the stresses due to mechanical vibrations and quick thermal ‘changes. Pumps with glass tining Vibration has destroyed the anti corrosive ‘lass lining of various pumps. With the instalation of PTFE expansion joints, those absorb the vibrations. Plastic material piping Relatively fragile and submitted to severe thermal expansions and contractions, the plastic material piping isnot able to absorb the static or dynamic stresses to which they ‘are normally submitted. In this case, the PTFE expansion joint allows the absorption of the produced movements releasing reduced forces and moments, compatible With the characteristics ofthe plastic material ofthe line. Sanitary systems Inay sanitary type piping system, the PTFE ‘expansion joint, within this qualification, solves the problems of thermal expansion ‘and mechanical vibrations without changing the properties of the conveyed fui. ‘We listed above some of the most common applications of the PTFE expansion joints, ‘emphasizing that, due to the exceptional qualities ofthe used material, as well as the Careful design and manufacture of the finished product, there are many possibilities ‘or application of the DINAFLON flexible elements, Definitions and concept Calculation of the axial thermal expansion Ina pipe subject to temperature variation, ‘there will be a thermal expansion, Thermal expansion coefficients K cootficiont (mmvm'C) K cootficient (o-r00°6] 200° 10,1600 |0,1950 0.0120 | 0.0126, 0175 Material PTFE Carbon steal | Stainiess steel (18Cr @Ni) Reinforced PVG FRP Polyethylene Polypropylene ot6s 10,0700 ‘Thermal expansion diagram Peewee ‘The axial thermal expansion of a pipe is calculated by the folowing equation: X=L.aT.K were: X_ = axial thermal expansion (mm) L_= total enath of the pipe (m) [AT = maximum temperature variation (°C). AT represents the temperature variation, between the instalation temperature and the design temperature or maximum ‘expected operation temperature thermal expansion coefficient K ‘The K values depending exclusively on the piping material and temperature are shown in the following table, for various materials and temperatures. Pressure thrust force (FRP) According to Pascal Principle, a pressure applied within a liquid is transmitted with equal intensity in all the directions. “Thus, the pressure acting internally in a cylindrical vessel with closed ends will create a stress in the longitudinal wal of the vessel due tothe pressure thrust force (FRF). FRP =p. A Where: FRP = pressure thust force (kal) itornal pressure (kgt/em) [A= internal area ofthe cross section cm’) ‘Since 2 cylindrical body with a mobile ‘element has no longitudinal strength, the FRP thrust force will distance the parts unt ‘separating them. For example, a piston a8 shown in picture 8 Pte Similar conditions we have joining the mobile parts with a bellows as shown in picture 4 ‘The pressure thrust force (FRP) released by the bellows is given by the folowing equation: FRP=p.Af=p.2.dm + Where: FFRP = pressure thrust force (kaf) internal pressure (kat/em?) ‘effective area ofthe bellows (em mean diameter of the bellows (cr) (Gis de) /2
