What does the socket-type compensation structure on the flue look like?
Thread Content
I have been in contact with metal wave-shaped expansion joints before, but I haven’t encountered socket-type compensation structures. Could some expert please provide an introduction, preferably with detailed drawings? Thank you first!
What you’re referring to is probably not a compensation structure, but rather reinforcement. Generally, when welding socket-type pipes onto larger pipes, it is necessary to reinforce the joints at those points; moreover, there are no socket-type compensators among the compensators used
It’s not for reinforcement; it’s at the junction of the chimney and the flue, to absorb the expansion of the flue
It’s simply the welding method between the non-metallic compensator and the flue; generally, the flue is inserted into the compensator by 30-50 millimeters before welding
