They are vital components in industrial plants that have equipment to equipment air transfer. These are installed on duct and in piping systems that are often subject to thermal expansions, vibrations and misalignments.
Expansion Joints design and engineering is vital to reducing operation down-time and increasing efficiency. A well designed expansion joint leads to less uninterrupted plant performance and less maintenance down time.
• Low capex.
• Easy to transport, easy to install.
• Compensates for movements in several directions simultaneously.
• Minimal reactive forces.
• Advanced insulation design ensures minimal heat loss.
• Reduced surface temperature on the outer layer during operation to protect site personnel.
• Requires little space and little down time for installation.
• Easily adapts to existing physical conditions.
Fabric expansion joints are found in a wide range of industries including:
• Chemical/Petro.
• Chemical Process Plants.
• Cement Manufacturing.
• Pulp and Paper Industry.
• Power Stations.
• Refineries.
• Shipbuilding.
• Steel Plants.
• Sugar Plants.
• Gas Turbine Installations.
• Incineration Food Processing.
The multilayer expansion joint is generally made from:
Pre-assembled expansion joint units can be supplied with surface treatment that is corrosion resistant (standard) and resistant to high temperatures.
TEXFLEX is offered in any RAL color code for the units.
