Expansion Joints

In air ductwork systems, dynamic stresses caused by fan vibrations, temperature fluctuations and other sources can lead to premature equipment failure. Expansion joints or flex connectors provide flexibility in duct when connected to rotating equipment to alleviate these stresses. In specifying expansion joints for an air system, consideration must be given to:

Axial, transverse and torsional movement
Temperature of the airstream
Noise levels
Abrasive nature of particulate in the airstream
Corrosive nature of the airstream

Expansion joints are often required in industrial applications in facilities such as:

Petro chemical plants
Lime and cement plants
Paper mills
Manufacturing plants

As a knowledgeable supplier of expansion joints and other air system components, we will work with you to determine the most effective expansion joints for your system and facility needs.
