Rigid couplings are used to connect two shafts that are aligned with each other. Flexible couplings are used to connect two shafts that are not aligned with each other. Flexible couplings are good for when the shafts are a little bit off, while rigid couplings can't tolerate any misalignment.

Both push-on joints and mechanical joints are used with Ductile iron pipe installation. Push-on joints are comprised of a special bell with an internal groove, a plain end, and rubber gasket which is seated into the bell's groove.

A rubber expansion joint is a flexible connector to absorb noise, shock, vibration, physical and thermal energy. Made of natural or synthetic elastomers it may be internally reinforced with fabrics and metal for strength and pressure resistance whilst metal reinforcement may be used externally for movement control.

Flange Adapter and Dismantling Joint are two essential components in pipeline systems. While they both serve the purpose of connecting two different pipe sections, they differ in their design and usage. In this article, we will discuss the differences between Flange Adapter and Dismantling Joint and how they are used in pipelines...

Flexible flange adaptors are commonly used to connect pipes of different materials or diameters, or to connect to valves or pumps.

Rubber Expansion Joints For Pipe installations to compensate for thermal expansion, alleviate arc stress during performance, and decrease noise and vibration brought on by rotating gear.
