Fabric expansion joints are used to insulate to avoid mechanical loads and to protect against abrasion.
Fabric duct expansion joints.
Basic forms of expansion joints.
Fluoropolymer flexible element material for fabric duct expansion joints are reinforced with fiberglass and have a ptfe laminate layer of variable thicknesses they have excellent chemical resistance zero porosity and can be used in wet or dry service.
Usage of fabric expansion joints that are pre assembled onto steel components offers a number of advantages.
Lightweight and easy to install.
Fabric belt expansion joint fluoropolymer.
Fabric expansion joints used for ducting systems are custom manufactured for the application.
Further they have almost no reactive forces and require little space.
The fabric expansion joints can also be designed to bridge between round and rectangular ducts.
Can be patched onsite in the event of a compromise.
Easy to splice if required once installed.
Combination type expansion joint configuration whether the duct cross sections are round or rectan gular with rounded corners the fabric expansion joint can be designed accordingly.
Tremendous thermal movement capabilities.
They offer advantages for the pipe work designer as they can absorb movements simultaneously in several directions.
