| The most reliable form of flexible joint is Gimbal joint
capable of absorbing angular motion in all planes. The incorporation includes a pair of
hinges connected to a floating Gimbal ring which has a very special advantages like
absorbtion of pressure-thrust, supporting the dead weight of the system, transmission of
wind & shear loads through th Gimbal structure, prevention of torsion & reduction
of forces on system. Gimbal joints are widely used for complex piping systems where proper
anchoring & guiding may not be feasible. These joints usually in pairs will permit
piping to float in relation to the terminal points. |
