NOTE This may be the manufacturer or planner of the piping or the pressure vessel for which the expansion joint is designed or the expansion joint manufacturer if free to set these values. 4 Classification 4.1 Classification of expansion joints There are four types of expansion joints which are designed according to the type of movements absorbed; common examples are shown in Table 4.1: 4.1.1 Axial Absorbs mainly axial !displacement". When non-pressure balanced, it does not restrain pressure thrust. When pressure balanced, it restrains thrust. It can be internally or externally pressurized. 4.1.2 Angular !Absorbs angular rotation. When fitted with hinges, it allows rotation in a single plane. When fitted with
gimbal rings, it allows multi-plane rotations. It restrains pressure thrust." 4.1.3 Lateral !Absorbs lateral deflection. An angular rotation is also permissible when the expansion joint is fitted with two spherical tie bars, the deflection being perpendicular to the plane containing the tie bars, or fitted with double hinges or fitted with double gimbals. It restrains pressure thrust." 4.1.4 Universal 4.1.4.1 Non-pressure balanced Absorbs several movements. It does not restrain pressure thrust. SIST EN 14917:2009+A1:2012
