  Dodge3 Joint  
   
New Safety EARTHQUAKE-PROOF PIPING SYSTEM  
   
  Dodge3 Joint is the land-mark earthquake-proof piping
system which arranges 3 kinds of metal bellows (Dodge Joint) at 3 points of L-shape piping and absorbs relative displacement for three dimensions direction occurred at earth-proof bed.
 
     
New Presentation for Earthquake-Proof Structure  
    Earthquake - Proof Structure  
   
      With earthquake-proof equipment building and basement will be isolated not to transmit earthquake vibration directly to building.

In earthquake- proof structure relative displacement by earthquake energy between building and basement would occur and you need the new piping system for the life line in the building to absorb relative displacement occurred by earthquake against installed piping.

    ["Dodge Joint"]
Earthquake-Proof Repeated displacement test for 150A-500 mm and 3,000 repeats show no leak under 1MPa
 
      New type of metal bellows developed for earthquake-proof piping system as “Dodge3 Joint” absorbing relative displacement occurred on life line and making the absorbing area compact.
“Dodge3 Joint”
Compared with conventional one absorptivity for angular displacement is more than 3 times ( The test was made by us)
We use 2 types of “Dodge Joint” , one is Hinge type “Dodge Joint” which makes it possible to absorb one-way angular displacement and the other, Gimbal “Dodge Joint” which makes it possible to absorb 360 degree displacement (oscillating) .
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
Features of ORK Earthquake - Proof Piping System Dodge3 Joint  
    ■Simple Design Specification and Standard  
      ●Volume of earthquake-proof will be decided upon fitting arrangement of each “Dodge Joint”
●Low reaction force without stabilized support
●Complete reversion to neutral position
●Changeable to earthquake-proof piping system for existing “L”shape fixed piping with our “Dodge3 Joint
●High reliable piping design is possible with strength calculation
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
    ■Space saving and simple installation  
      ●Effective use of space is possible without earthquake- proof roller and big stage
●Simple installation, all you have to do is to arrange “Dodge Joint”with same length at 3 places.
●Beautiful installation in integral part with piping
 
 
 
   
 
   
    ■Available for cooling medium, gas, drinking water, oil, chemical, and many other fluid and pressure  
   
Basic Composition of 【Dodge3 Joint】on earth-proof bed  
     
    Remark)Displacement reaction shows Maximum figure. The weight of system shows total weight of each “Dodge Joint” and each weight of intermediate pipes and wheels.
Regarding earthquake-proof volume other than 500 mm, we prepare details of design data and manual. In this case, please inform us.
