LBH manufactures an extensive range of flexible joints and bellows, designed to reduce stresses in ducting and piping systems caused by thermal expansion movements and vibration. Every joint is individually fabricated by hand for its specific application.
For the elastomeric joints, the company specialised in the larger diameters, non-standard lengths and awkward shapes and configurations not covered by rubber companies’ standard ranges. This leaflet describes LBH’s elastomeric expansion joints suitable for continuous temperatures up to 200 C. Each joint is made from a single elastomeric material, some are laminated with one or more reinforcement layers and then vulcanised to form a solid, integral component.
Three different elastomers are included in LBH’s standard
range:
- EPDM, Ethylene PropyleneDiene Terpolymer
- FKM, Flourocarbon Elastomer
- SI, Silicone Rubber
