They provide protection against thermal movements and mechanical forces for high value equipment (pumps, valves, condensers, etc.). We design and produce to measure for highly special working conditions (high pressu-res, high temperatures, large movements, etc.).All our joints are designed pursuant to FSA regu-lations, selecting the most appropriate elasto-mers per service (Neoprene, E.P.D.M., nitryl, Hypalon®, Viton®, food grade E.P.D.M.) and all kinds of reinforcements (Nylon Polyamide® and Kevlar Polyaramide®) and for all kinds of dimen-sions.® Registered trademarks by DupontMoulded:BF-ppsOtherspecialapplicationsWe design andadvise technicallyConstruction typesEach project requires a customised solution. Our capacity to design and manufacture come from experience and specialization in different sectors. Developing market loyalty requires a team of people with the capacity to adapt their knowledge in favour of the best technical solution.B-flexBL-flexManual:Manufacturers of Expansion JointsManufacturers of Expansion JointsB-flexLow cost and high rotation design, usually installed at piping systems with pressures up to 16 bar (250 psi) and diameters of up to DN 300 (12”) to absorb vibrations120709_BIKAR_BFLEX SHEET_EN.Bikar reserves the right to make any modificationS without giving any advance noticeIndustrial servicesHVACLow pressure pumpingEnRubber Expansion JointsManufacturers of Expansion JointsB-flexB-flexLight duty industrial servicesHVACLow pressure pumpingUsually installed in:Characteristics and propertiesThis type of expansion joint was initially designed for air conditioning installations; however, today it is used industrially for light duty services, mainly to absorb vibrations and compensate small movements.
