For water, waste water, chilled water & many other services, to permit pipelines “flex” a bit. Metallic pipes expand and contract when the ambient (or service) temperatures vary and non-metallic pipes (which may be buried) will move with ground settlement etc. Where probable movement can be envisaged the values are designed by a compensator which can flex, thus avoiding undue pipeline damage. Interesting applications are reservoir inlet/outlet connections, pump connections, differing flange standards either end, axial or angular offset of new to old pipelines. Sizes from DN50 to DN5000 and pressures of PN6 to PN25 on rubber, but the larger sizes would be lower pressure capability.. Higher pressures and temperatures in 316SS.
Pump Control Valves protect pumps, pipelines, and other system components by isolating the pipeline from the sudden velocity changes associated with pump starting and stopping.
The “Active Check Valve” logic of operation, is the method of pumping system control that prevents surges rather than eliminating them.
For road-crossing where the fluid carrying pipe cannot be buried directly. The movement of heavy vehicles will transfer impact loads and can damage pipeline with leaking water or gas etc. In all such cases, the carrier pipe is inserted into a sleeve pipe. Spacers allow the carrier pipe to be easily pulled into the existing sleeve pipe and the traffic loads do not reach the main service pipelines. Small size carrier pipes DN50 to very large DN3000
