An expansion barrel is a critical component in wear piping manufacture, as it enables piping networks to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction. The barrel is a machined telescoping piping assembly that is designed to be durable and long-lasting, providing a reliable solution for transporting slurry in harsh environments. By incorporating expansion barrels into the network, Bradken is able to ensure that wear is reduced and the overall lifespan of the piping system is extended.
