Fabric Expansion Joints
Fabric expansion joints are used in ducts which carry hot gases at low pressures. The major design parameters are the temperatures and flow rates of the gases and the amount and abrasiveness of solids suspended in the gases, as well as the chemical content of the medium. The fabric expansion joints are usually used for low pressures, air, gases, smoke etc.
Layers of different fabrics insulation can be combined to accommodate the temperatures and pressure in the system. The fabric expansion joints may need to be replaced periodically.
We supply fabric expansion joints, fabricated only by reputable and experienced european manufacturers.
What are the primary applications of fabric expansion joints?
Fabric expansion joints are primarily utilized in ducts that convey hot gases at low pressures. They are ideal for applications involving air, gases, and smoke, especially where moderate temperatures and loads are present. For specific applications, you can explore our Fabric expansion joint GTK for ventilation and exhaust at moderate temperature and load.
How can fabric expansion joints accommodate varying temperatures and pressures?
Fabric expansion joints can be designed with layers of different fabrics and insulation materials that are customized to handle specific temperatures and pressures in the system. This versatility allows them to perform effectively in a range of environments, including those found in the chemical industry and process industry.
What maintenance considerations are important for fabric expansion joints?
Fabric expansion joints typically require periodic inspection and replacement due to wear and tear from thermal cycling and the presence of abrasive solids in the gases they carry. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance, and for applications requiring increased tightness, the Fabric Expansion Joints for Universal Applications - Increased Tightness at Temp up to 250ºC can be a suitable choice.
