 Expansion Joint - HIGH TEMPERATURE FLUE DUCT JOINTS (Fabric)
 
 
• Available in "U", belt, square, round or rectangular configurations.
• More movement in a shorter space than metal joints.
• Less reaction force for pipe movement.
• No vibration fatigue or high cycling failure.
• Light weight and easy to install.
• A wide range of composite materials available to meet temperature and 
  corrosion resistance requirements.
• Temperature capabilities to 2000º F.
• Baffle and insulation pillow designs available.
 
 
 Service Features of Fabric Expansion Joints: 
 
• Absorb axial, transverse and torsional movements
• Corrosion and chemical resistance
• Negligible spring rates and loads
• Easily repairable and installable
• High cycle life
• Unique application solutions
• Vibration dampening and sound attenuation
• More movement in shorter face-to-face
• Less force to flex than metal expansion joints
• Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance
• Temperature capability range (-110°F to more than 2,000°F)
• Lower shipping and installation costs
• Variety of flexible belt materials available:
      • Single-layer and composite belts
      • Elastomers have excellent abrasion resistance
      • Custom designed for each specific application
 
 
Design Considerations
 
Media:  Internal and External Environment
Temperature:  Constant operating and maximum excursion
Pressure:  Normal positive or negative
Movements:  Axial and lateral, simultaneously or independently
Installation:  Existing equipment and duct flanges
Assembly:  Factory-assembled or field-spliced
 
 
Baffles
 
Baffles are usually not necessary with elastomeric expansion joints due to the tube resistance to most abrasive particular matter. However, baffles must be used with fabric composite joints to protect the inner surface form particulates in the gas stream. We can supply baffles fabricated from carbon steel, stainless steel, or other materials as required.
 
Retaining Rings
 
Standard construction calls for 2" wide, 3/8" thick bars with slotted holes for easy installation. Material of construction can be carbon steel, corten or stainless steel.
