Seismic Protection for piping systems can be accomplished in a number of ways:
- Braided Hose “V” or “L” loops
- Tied Universal Expansion Joints (singularly or in pairs)
- 3-Ball Joint (or 4-ball joint) layouts
- Hyspan’s Revolutionary In-Line Seismic Expansion Joint
The key considerations to determine which solution is best for any specific challenge include:
- Amount of movement required (expressed in +/- X” inches, which represents that amount of non-concurrent movement in all three planes)
- Media in the pipes (sanitary systems grade requirements vs. natural & medical gas vs. steam/high temp hot water)
- Amount of real estate available between point-of-contact areas.
- Method the system is supported (hanging vs. racked)
- Required life expectancy/number of cycles
- Budget
