This paper is intended to be a general over-view of the various types of insulating joint which are used in the corrosion industry. It is not intended to be a critical appraisal of various manufacturers products although the various operating limitations are explained in order that the potential user may reconcile his requirements with the possible limitations of the material to be used. From a more practical aspect the author has had over a quarter of a century's experience in using various types of insulating joint and fittings ranging from the simplest right through to the large diameter and high pressure constructions utilised in the petro-chemical industries today.
