FIELD: construction.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to pipeline transport and can be used as a compensating pipe connection for various purposes. A compensator comprises a flexible tube with sealing flanging and limiting bushings installed outside of the flexible tube with a radial clearance with mating flanges. The diameters of the adjacent steel limiting bushings are accepted as different capable of interaction of the inner surface of one bushing with another sleeve outer surface at both ends at the permanent placement of bushing ends overlapping each other. Connecting flanges are formed with internal projections, placed with minimum clearances relative to the outer surface of the flexible tube. On the inner surface of the end portion of the bushing of larger diameter a circular gasket can be mounted from an elastic antifriction material capable of interaction between its inner surface and the outer surface of the bushing of smaller diameter.EFFECT: improving reliability of pipeline operation, improvement of its compensating capabilities, simplified and cheaper device with increased life of an elastic tube.2 dwg |
