Fabric expansion joints are non metallic flue duct expansion joints that provide stress relief for piping and ducting systems by absorbing thermal growth and shock isolating mechanical vibration and allowing for misalignments.
Fabric duct expansion joints.
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.
Further they have almost no reactive forces and require little space.
Replacements can be made within 24.
Fabric expansion joints are used to insulate to avoid mechanical loads and to protect against abrasion.
They offer advantages for the pipe work designer as they can absorb movements simultaneously in several directions.
Can be patched onsite in the event of a compromise.
The fabric expansion joints can also be designed to bridge between round and rectangular ducts.
Easy to splice if required once installed.
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.
Fabric expansion joints used for ducting systems are custom manufactured for the application.
Basic forms of expansion joints.
Installing unit into the duct is quick and easy transport brackets secure the unit into place during the transport and installation process larger units are transported in sections and are.
