A lateral expansion joint works in the sameway a hinged expansion joint does. It uti-lizes the ability of a bellows to rotate inangular direction. The lateral movement
capability is the result of the angular rota-tion of the bellows and their center to centerdistance. The longer the distance betweenthe bellows, the larger is the movementcapacity (Fig. 1).
A longer center to center distance alsoresults in lower displacement forces of theexpansion joint.
Lateral expansion joints are independentexpansion systems in contrast to singlehinged expansion joints. They are practi-cally a two pin system. Lateral expansion
joints are usually installed with a 50% pre-stressing. This is accomplished by pre-stressing the entire pipe system after theexpansion joint is installed. The pre-stress-ing amount can be determined from thepre-stressing diagram in the sectionassembly instructions taking into accountthe installation temperature.
The special features of lateral expansionjoints are:1.) Very low anchor loads as the tie bars /
rods restrain the pressure thrust result-ing from the internal pressure.
2.) Large movement capacities.
3.) Less demanding with regard to pipesupports / guides.
Even pipe hangers might be acceptable.

High energy and high frequency vibrationsof the pipeline that are caused by turbulentflow after safety blow-down valves, shut-
down valves or pressure reducers or vibra-tions (pulsation) in the gas or liquid columnitself cannot be compensated for.
Types Tied universal expansion joints that use tierods and washer nuts to restrain the pressurethrust forces represent the simplest design oflateral expansion joints. They are suited to
compensate for movements in any directionperpendicular to their axis.For higher pressure conditions, the use of acardanic universal expansion joint is recom-mended. This type of expansion joint uses tiebars with cardanic hinges to restrain the pres-sure thrust. They too are suited to compen-sate for movements in any direction perpen-dicular to the expansion joint axis. Anotheralternative is the installation of double gimbalexpansion joints or two gimbal joints in a twopin gimbal system if the compensation ofmovements in various perpendicular direc-tions is required. Expansion joints that are
suited to compensate for lateral movementsare also used to decouple pipe systems fromthe vibration that is generated by pumps,compressors or other engines (Fig. 4).
If the unit is firmly mounted to its foundation,the installation of one lateral expansion joint inboth the suction and discharge pipe is suffi-cient (Fig. 4). If tied universal expansion joints
are used, the installation of additional lockwashers should be considered in anticipationof compression forces caused by vacuumthat might occur in the suction pipe.If the unit, however, is mounted on flexiblesupports such as spring or rubber mountings,then the vibrations occur in all directions. Inthis case, an additional angular or lateralexpansion joint must be installed (Fig. 5).One possibility is the installation of a three pinW-system comprising one lateral and one sin-gle hinged expansion joint.To allow the elbow between the expansionjoints to rotate without forcing the tie rods to
release from their tied position one mustassure that the positioning of the tie rods ofthe lateral expansion joint corresponds to thepositioning of the pins of the single hingedunit (Fig. 6).

To ensure that the lateral expansion jointcompensates for the thermal expansioncorrectly, pipe anchors and pipe supports /guides must be installed to define the
amount and direction of the thermal expan-sion. According to the peripheral conditionsof the installation, this can be achieved byplacing two pipe guides adjacent to theelbows on each side of the expansion jointwith anchors further away from the locationof the expansion joint or by the installationof one anchor and one pipe guide in theafore mentioned positions (Fig. 8).
The pipe supprts / guides must comply withthe following requirements:
1. Support the weight of the pipeline andthe weight of the expansion joints includ-
ing the weight of the flow, insulation etc.
2. Guide the pipeline in its axis.3. Provide sufficient clearance [s] to allow
free pipe movement from the uncompen-sated thermal expansion L of the pipe
section L and from the arc height h (Fig. 7)without causing the guide to jam.
Short pipe routings that are typical forpower station piping do not normallyrequire pipe guides. The dead weight of thepipeline should be supported by suitablespring or constant pipe supports / hangersin a way that they do not interfere with themovement of the expansion joint.

We recommend the installation of expansi-on joints with sleeves if high-frequencyoscillations or turbulences are to be expec-ted in the medium, or if the medium has a
high flow velocity.
The diagram Guidelines for use of sleevesshows the limit curves for steam, gas and
liquids, above which the use of sleeves isabsolutely recommended.
The sleeves serve to protect the bellows
and reduce its tendency towards oscillationinduced by the flow, and to also reducedeposits and wear.

System calculationLateral expansion joint for movementcompensation on one plane.
Please note:
As a result of the deflection of a lateralexpansion joint, a bending moment and aforce occur and load the anchors.
The moment and force are caused by thebellows spring rate and by the friction in thehinges.
The pressure thrust from the internal pres-sure and the effective cross section of thebellows are restrained by the hinged hard-ware.
All formulae refer to a 50% pre-stressingof the pipe movement , that must becompensated for, which means that thelateral expansion joint will be deflectedby the amount of /2.
In case of a 100% or 0% pre-stressing,the amount of 2 times should be usedin the equation.
Permissible movement capacity
Following the recommendations explainedin section basic principals / nominal designconditions, the permissible lateral move-
ment capacity zul is determined takinginto account the nominal lateral movementcapacity lat as follows:
The effective pipe movement /2 must beequal to or less than the permissible lateralmovement capacity zul:
Resulting arc height
At the maximum lateral deflection (/2) toone side, the vertical distance between thebellows L1 is shortened by the amount of thearc height [h] that is determined as follows:
The arc height [h] and the uncompensatedthermal expansion of the pipe section inwhich the expansion joint is installed must betaken into account when the clearance in the
pipe guide is determined or a sufficient dis-tance to the guide must be provided to allowthe pipe to compensate for this movement bymeans of natural compensation.

General
The chapter angular expansion jointsdescribes different three-pin expansion
systems that comprise three angularexpansion joints.If the center to center distance between thejoints is short, it is often more economical touse one lateral expansion joint instead ofthe two angular units that are installed intandem.The lateral expansion joints type 7710 and7720, that are suited for movement com-pensation on one plane are suitable for the3W, 3L and 3Z expansion systems.In 3 pin gimbal systems, the two gimbaljoint can be replaced by one lateral expan-sion joint with movement compensation
capabilities in any direction perpendicularto the expansion joint axis. The double gim-bal joints type 7410 and 7420 are kinemat-ically absolutely identical with two individ-ual gimbal joints. If tied universal expansionjoints with tie rods or cardanic hinges areused (types 78..), then these joints must beinstalled with the correct positioning of therestraining hardware to allow the joints torotate in an angular direction around thesame axis as the single hinged expansionjoint in the system. (Fig. 9 shows an exam-ple using one single hinged and one tieduniversal expansion joint with tie rods. The
line between the tie rods [1] must be paral-lel to the line [2] between the hinges).
Fig. 9
Note: Lateral expansion joints that areused in three pin systems are notallowed to have more than two tie rodsor bars. Three or more tie rods / bars willnot allow an angular rotation of the indi-vidual bellows of a lateral joint.
In order to apply the design calculationsof three pin expansion systems to sys-tems that comprise a lateral expansionjoint, the spring rates and displacement
force of the lateral expansion joint mustbe converted into an equivalent bendingspring rate and bending moment of twosubstitute angular joints.
These two substitute angular expansionjoints represent the lateral expansion jointin the design calculation of the expansionsystem.
The following conversion applies for tieduniversal expansion joints with tie rods onlyas an approximate since the distancebetween the spherical washers is not the
same as the center to center distancebetween the bellows. Please contact us ifan exact calculation is required.
The bending spring rate c of the substi-tute angular expansion joint is determinedfrom the lateral spring rate c lat of the lateralexpansion joints as follows:
The angular hinge friction c r of the substi-
tute angular expansion joints is deter-mined from the lateral friction c r (lat) of thelateral expansion joint as follows:
The additional angular moment c z of thesubstitute angular expansion joint isdetermined from the additional lateral forcec z(lat) of the lateral expansion joint as fol-lows:
The permissible angular rotation zul of thesubstitute angular expansion joint isdetermined from the permissible lateralmovement capacity zul as follows:

Installationinstructions
Lateral expansion joints that allows a later-al movement on one plane only must beinstalled with a correct positioning of the tiebars with respect to the direction of the pipe
expansion that is to be compensated for.The pipe movement must always be per-pendicular to the axis of the pins.
In contrast to axial expansion joints, lateralexpansion joints are less demanding with
regards to pipe supports and guides. Theyhave to support the weight of the pipelineincluding the insulation, flow, wind andother external loads in such a way thatrelieve the expansion joints from thoseloads without hindering their movement.
In short pipe routings such as in compactpower house pipe systems, pipe supports
and guides may not be necessary at all.In long pipelines, a pipe guide should beinstalled on each side of the lateral expan-sion joint.
Only one lateral expansion joint should beinstalled between two anchors. Theseanchors must withstand the displacementforce of the lateral expansion joint thatresults from the bending spring rate of each
bellows, the friction of the pins in the hingesas well as the friction forces in the pipe sup-ports and guides.
Pipe guides with excess friction as a resultof overloading, deposits of dirt or rust maygall and cause excessive strain in the pipe,its anchors and connections.

The permissible operating pressure resultsfrom the nominal pressure, taking into
account the reduction factors according tothe technical data sheets.
Lateral expansion joints are commonlyinstalled at 50% pre-stressing of their antic-ipated movement. The actual temperatureof the pipeline at the time of installationmust be taken into acount when pre-stress-ing is applied. This is particulary importantfor long distance pipelines.
If the temperature of the pipeline at the timeof installation deviates form the lowest pos-sible temperature, then the amount of pre-stressing must be determined according tothe following pre-stressing diagram.
Pipe anchors, supports and guides must befirmly installed prior to filling the system orcommencing the pressure test. The per-missible pressure test must not be exceed-
ed. The bellows must be protected againstweld, mortel or plaster splatter, dirt or anyform of mechanical damage during installa-tion.Steam pipe systems must be installed onan incline and must further be heated at aslow rate to assure that condensate, thatmight cause steam hammers, is drained intime. Sufficient insulation and the avoid-
ance of water pockets are recommended.Steam cleaning should be avoided due tothe risk of water hammers and unwantedvibrations of the bellows.
Expansion joints with inner sleeves must beinstalled taking into account the flow direc-tion with the fixed end of the sleeves facingup-stream. Otherwise, common principlesof failure prevention such as proper watertreatment, electrical bridges in copper andgalvanized pipes etc. for the avoidance ofcorrosion defects, must be followed.
Lateral expansion joints with tie rods (tieduniversal expansion joints) are suited to
compensate for mechanical vibrations inone plane, for example in discharge pipesof pumps, compressors and other rotatingmachinery (Fig. 1).If the machinery is mounted rigidly to itsfoundation, the installation of one tied uni-versal expansion joint is usually suffucient.If the machinery however is mounted onflexible supports, then the installation oftwo tied universal expansion joints is nec-essary to compensate for the movementsthat occur in all directions (Fig. 2). A pipeanchor is required immediately after theexpansion joint and must be separated
from the vibrating foundation.
The installation occurs without pre-stressing!
Vibrations with high frequencies as a resultof a turbulent flow as apparent for exampleafter safety and relief valves or emergencyshut-down valves or vibrations that are gen-erated by the gaseous or liquid flow itselfcannot be compensated for.
The expansion joint should always beinstalled as close as possible to thesource of the vibration.

Given: Lateral expansion joint for a 140 m long
pipeline Lowest possible temperature: 7 C Maximum temperature: +293 C Maximum thermal expansion according
to t 300 C = 500 mmDetermine the correct amount of pre-stressing if the expansion system is to bepre-stressed at 50% of the total movement(= 250 mm) and when the actual tempera-ture at the time of installation is +20 C.Answer: The thermal expansion of thepipeline between 7 C and +20 C (t =
27 C) is 45 mm. To determine the correctamount of pre-stressing, this amount mustbe deducted from the total amount of pre-stressing i.e. 250 45 = 205 mm.The diagram provides a quick resolution with-out the need of a mathematical calculation:
1. Temperature difference between instal-lation temperature (+20 C) and lowesttemperature (7 C) = 27 C.
2. Total length of pipeline = 140 m3. Draw a vertical line from point 27 C at
the top of the diagram downwards to theline that connects the point 0 and thepoint 140 at the right side of the diagram.
4. From this intersection, draw a horizontalline to the left side of the diagram. The num-ber 45 [mm] indicates the thermal expan-sion of the pipe at installation temperature.
5. Draw a line from point 45 to the point500 in the next diagram to the left and
extend this line to the far left diagram.
The number 205 [mm] indicates theamount of pre-stressing by which theexpansion joint must be pre-stressed intothe opposite direction of the expected ther-mal growth of the pipeline.

Installationinstructions
RecommendationsAvoid the installation of standard expansionjoints in the immediate proximity of pres-sure reducers, superheated steam con-densers and quick activated shut-off valves
as high frequency vibrations might be gen-erated by this equipment. Provide heavywall sleeves for the expansion joints, perfo-rated flow visors in the pipeline or equaliz-ing sections to protect the bellows againstfailures.
If high frequency vibrations, turbulence orhigh flow velocities are anticipated, we rec-ommend the installation of expansion jointswith inner sleeves (liners).
For pipeline diameters equal to or largerthan 150 mm, we recommend internalsleeves if the flow velocity exceeds 8 m/sfor a gaseous flow and 3 m/s for liquids.
