Technical Specifications for BF Type (VSSJA-1) Single-Flange Limiting Expansion Joints

Product Introduction

The BF type (VSSJA-1) single-flange limit expansion joint is developed on the basis of the VSSJA flange expansion joint.

The BF-type (VSSJA-1) single-flange limit expansion joint operates by connecting one end to flanges, valves, and other equipment, while the other end is welded to the pipeline. Its working principle involves adding a short limiting flange pipe and using extended bolts to securely connect the joint to the limiting device. At the maximum expansion/contraction point, the dimensions are locked with nuts to ensure that the pipeline can freely expand and contract within the allowable range. While protecting the pipeline and associated equipment, this design also facilitates future installation, removal, and maintenance. It is suitable for applications involving thermal expansion and contraction of pipelines, uneven foundation settlement, pipelines with a certain degree of slope, bends, or significant vibration. Users can select the appropriate expansion joint product based on their specific conditions. This product is designed for connecting pipelines conveying water, oil, gas, slurries, and particulate media, and it complies with the technical requirements specified in GB/T12465-2017.

Brief Installation Instructions
1. The BF-type (VSSJA-1) flanged limit expansion joint is suitable for one end being connected with a flange and the other end being welded to a pipeline.
2. All products are fully assembled and tested before leaving the factory. Simply connect both ends of the product to the pipeline or flanges, evenly tighten the nuts adjacent to the compression sleeve in a diagonal pattern, then adjust the limit nuts to the proper position.
3. During the pressure test, the pipelines on both sides of the product should be securely fixed to prevent excessive axial stress from damaging the entire piping system.
