Acontrol 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.
Acontrol 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.
