Varieties of connector

The fluid pressure increases as the pulse passes through the connector. This expands the rubber arch or arches of the connector outwards, absorbing energy. This greatly reduces or eliminates the pulse. Flexible connectors are therefore most commonly used on the inlet and outlets of pumps and similar equipment.

Mason U.K. can supply a great variety of flexible connectors. Some of the options available are:

� A variety of elastomers to suit the application, including natural rubber, Butyl, EPDM, neoprene, Teflon and nitrile.

� Reinforcement can be Nylon or stronger materials such as Kevlar

� Some of our connectors (Safeflex) have steel rings rather than wire to prevent the carcass pulling out - unique to Mason products. No Safeflex connector has ever failed in service.

� Ductile iron and a variety of stainless steel grade flanges available.
