Explore Now Expansion Barrel
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.
The Purpose Of Expansion Barrel Includes:
- Compensates for thermal expansion/contraction
- Telescoping pipe assembly
- Custom engineered to suit requirements
- Prevents damage to pipeline network
- Reduces maintenance and repair costs.
Features:
Hard chromed surface with multiple sealing options
Can be lined with CCO, DX, CWI or Neoprene
Optional External or Internal Stop
Optional Built-in Wear Sensor
Advantages:
Reliable and long-lasting sealing with chromed and ground surface
Ability to match liner material to wear environment
Stops barrel from separating after maximum extension
Benefits:
Prevents corrosion of sealing sections
Uniform sealing mitigates leaks
Selecting the appropriate liner material optimizes wear life and cost
Barrel will not separate, even if surrounding anchors fail, offering peace of mind
Remote condition monitoring
