Control Rods

USE OF CONTROL UNITS WITH RUBBER FLEXIBLE JOINTS
A control unit assembly is an accessory of two or more control rod units (limit rods, tie rods or compression sleeves) placed between the flanges across a flexible joint to minimize possible destruction caused by excessive motion of a pipeline. When used in this manner, control units are an additional safety factor which can minimize possible damage to the adjacent equipment.

A control unit is strongly recommended to use when:
– In case that proper anchoring cannot be provided.
– In case that it is hard to withstand the line thrusts generated by internal pressure or wide temperature fluctuations.
– In case that the anticipated elongation, compression and lateral movement are more than the design, pre-gap and/or installation tolerance.
– In case that the anticipated angle of deflection is more than the design and/or installation tolerance.
