Fabric Expansion Joints

Vibrant Power offers fabric expansion joints that provide both insulation and protection against abrasion while efficiently compensating for thermal growth and vibration.

The advantages and benefits of fabric expansion joints vary by the application, environment, and other factors related to an industrial process. Vibrant Power’s experience covers a range of applications that include fly ash processes, industrial and commercial kilns, ducting, flue gases, and corrosive materials, among many others.

Vibrant fabric expansion joints offer superior flexibility and will handle large thermal movements, in a relatively short space. They are excellent for vibration isolation and reduction of mechanical noise transmission. Fabric expansion joints are available in various materials and designs with no size restrictions. Expansion joints can be supplied with appropriate metal work (such as angles, baffles, and retaining bars) for ease of installation at site.

Typical Fabric Expansion Joints:

Elastomeric (Lower Temperature)
Composite (Higher Temperature)
Fluoropolymer (Additional Chemical Resistance)

Vibrant fabric expansion joints can be manufactured with various elastomers, including but not limited to: FKM, EPDM, NBR, HNBR, CIIR, Fluoropolymer, with various types of reinforcements and linings.

Please consult Vibrant Power for an effective solution to your ducting needs.

PTFE and PTFE Lined Expansion Joints

Vibrant Power designs and supplies polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) expansion joints that can withstand exposure to corrosive materials, reactive chemicals, and friction.

The physical and chemical properties of our PTFE and PTFE-Lined Expansion Joints provide exceptional durability and resistance to harsh industrial environments. Vibrant Power can design and supply PTFE expansion joints to meet specific standards and applications—particularly in industrial operations where highly corrosive chemicals and solvents are in use.

PTFE and PTFE Lined Expansion Joints - Vibrant Power

PTFE Expansion Joints also offer low spring rates resulting in low reaction forces on adjacent piping, nozzles, structures, and equipment. Expansion Joints are well suited for use on non-metallic piping systems such as FRP, glass-lined, PTFE-lined, Kynar, and other corrosion-resistant piping materials.
