Weld-neck expansion joints are expansion elements that belong to the axial compensator group and are designed to absorb thermal expansions occurring in pipelines in the axial direction. These compensators are especially preferred in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, contributing to the safe and long-lasting operation of the system.

In system engineering, pipelines are typically divided into different expansion zones, which are separated from each other by fixed points. Thanks to this structural solution, the thermal movement in each expansion zone is controlled solely by the axial expansion joint installed in that specific area.

The weld-neck design ensures a stronger and leak-proof connection between the compensator and the pipeline. This increases durability, particularly in environments with high vibration or significant temperature differences.
