Gardani accordion connection is an example of the most widely used accordion connection, which is commonly used in various fields. How familiar are you with accordion connections?
What is an accordion connection?
Unwanted movements caused by temperature changes in fluid transmission systems are normal. These movements sometimes occur as a result of temperature changes, vibrations of rotating devices and industrial machines, earthquakes and wind.
It is necessary to absorb the aforementioned movements and prevent their transfer to the equipment in the pipelines. To do this important thing, they use flexible joints called accordion joints. Accordion joints are also known as shock absorbers, expansion joints and compensators. It is necessary to know that these changes occur due to expansion and contraction caused by temperature, vibration and bending or deviation in piping systems. There are many different types of accordion fittings, among the most important of which we can mention the Gardani accordion fittings.
Gardani accordion connection; A widely used connection with unique advantages
You may be interested to know that the Gardani accordion joint is a modified design of the articulated accordion joint. These functional joints consist of a connecting plate and two pairs of hinges connected to the guard ring by a pin, and they enable lateral movements in the case of double and angular movement in several plates. At the same time, these joints prevent the axial tension of the accordion joints and thus eliminate the effect of thrust force.
It should be mentioned that the Gardani accordion joints provide angular rotation in each plane and are capable of restraining thrust force. The mentioned connections are designed and produced in two types, single and double. The single type of these joints does not have the ability to absorb lateral movement. Meanwhile, the double type of this connection is able to repel lateral movements in several planes.
The use of accordion-cord connection is common in various industries. This fitting is one of the most efficient accordion fittings you can use in pipelines.
