Flanged Vibration/Expansion Joint IDMAR FAF 5000 DN100 — flange-mounted compensator

The flanged vibration and expansion joint IDMAR FAF 5000 DN100 is a flange-mounted compensator engineered for pipelines with nominal diameter DN100. It is designed to reduce transmitted vibration, absorb axial and lateral movements and compensate for thermal expansion in pipe runs. The unit integrates a flanged connection for straightforward installation between matching flange faces and is suitable for HVAC systems, industrial piping and process lines where reliable movement control is required.

Advantages

The flange-mounted design enables secure bolted connections and simplifies alignment during assembly. The compensator absorbs multi-directional movement and reduces vibration transmission to connected equipment, lowering mechanical stress on supports and joints. Constructed for compatibility with standard DN100 flange interfaces, it offers predictable deflection characteristics and helps maintain pipeline integrity under temperature variations and dynamic loads.

Suitable for

• HVAC duct and piping systems requiring vibration isolation
• Industrial process lines with thermal expansion and contraction
• Pipelines connecting rotating equipment where vibration damping is needed
• Maintenance sections where flanged connections facilitate replacement

Key specifications

• Connection type: flanged compensator for flange-to-flange installation
• Nominal diameter: DN100
• Functions: vibration reduction, axial and lateral movement absorption, thermal expansion compensation
• Mounting: flange-mounted unit compatible with standard flange faces
• Application environment: HVAC, industrial piping, process lines

How to use

Install the compensator between two matching flange faces using appropriate bolts and gaskets, ensuring flange alignment and correct bolt torque according to the flange and piping specifications. Verify that the unit is oriented and supported to permit the intended axial and lateral movements without imposing undue torsional loads. Inspect surrounding supports and anchors so that movement is accommodated at the compensator location rather than transferred elsewhere in the system.

Usage recommendations

Confirm flange standards and bolt patterns match the compensator and use gaskets suitable for the media and temperature. Periodically inspect the compensator and adjacent flanges for signs of wear, leakage or abnormal deformation, and replace the unit if corrosion or damage compromises its sealing or movement capacity.
