As detailed by IQS Directory in the article “What are the Different Types of Expansion Joints?”, understanding the specific functions and advantages of various expansion joint types is essential for optimizing piping systems in industrial environments. From axial flexibility to pressure balancing, each type plays a crucial role in managing movement, temperature, and mechanical stress.  

Axial expansion joints are designed to manage movement along the pipe’s longitudinal axis by either compressing or extending. These joints require proper anchoring or restraint bars and are ideal for straight pipelines between fixed points. Pre-tensioning during installation helps increase their lifespan and efficiency.
