More Information
Summary:A compliant connector includes a coupling between adjacent strainer modules which accommodates differential thermal expansion and misalignment while precluding the creation of interface loads between the modules. The connector includes a coupling that makes internal or external connections with the inlet/outlet of the adjacent strainer modules. The coupling is configured at each end to accept a compliant seal comprised of a garter spring.
