Our fabric expansion joints are purpose-built for steel plant ducting systems, providing a highly flexible solution for low-pressure air and gas flow. They are designed to handle wide ranges of movement, reduce vibration, and compensate for misalignment in systems exposed to extreme heat, dust, and chemically aggressive off-gases.

Manufactured using engineered composite layers—combining heat-resistant fabrics, thermal insulation, and protective coatings—these joints offer durability and consistent performance in demanding steelmaking environments.

They are typically installed in furnace gas paths, ventilation systems, and emission control ducting where traditional metal components cannot accommodate the required movement.

Typical applications include:

• Off-gas ducting from EAF and BOF systems
• Blast furnace gas and ventilation lines
• High-temperature air and process gas ducting
• Baghouses and dust handling systems
• Scrubber and filtration equipment connections
• Fan systems handling process air and exhaust gases

Our rubber expansion joints provide flexible connections for liquid piping systems in steelmaking operations, where controlling vibration, noise, and thermal movement is critical. Manufactured with multi-layer elastomer bodies reinforced by high-strength fabric, they offer a balance of flexibility, strength, and pressure performance for demanding service conditions.

These joints help isolate vibration from pumps and rotating equipment, absorb pipe movement, and reduce stress on system components such as valves, heat exchangers, and mechanical equipment. Their elastomer construction also delivers strong resistance to corrosion, making them well-suited for cooling water, process water, and plant utility systems exposed to moisture and chemical treatment.

Typical applications include

• Cooling water and recirculation systems
• Process and quench water lines
• Pump inlet and discharge connections
• Heat exchanger and cooling system connections
• Plant utility and service water piping
• Slurry and low-pressure fluid handling systems

Our PTFE expansion joints are engineered for highly corrosive environments in steelmaking operations, where aggressive chemicals and process fluids demand superior material performance. Featuring a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) liner with reinforced structural components, these joints provide long-lasting protection for critical piping systems.

The PTFE liner offers excellent resistance to acids, caustics, and chemical attack, while external reinforcement and metallic hardware maintain strength and stability under pressure, temperature fluctuations, and movement. They effectively absorb thermal expansion, isolate vibration, and accommodate piping misalignment in demanding process conditions.

Typical applications include:

• Acid handling and chemical dosing systems
• Pickling lines and chemical processing circuits
• Scrubber and emission control systems
• Wastewater treatment and neutralization systems
• Corrosive slurry and process fluid transfer lines
• Cooling water systems with chemical treatment

Our slip-type expansion joints, also known as packed expansion joints, feature sliding, telescopic pipe sections that allow axial movement while maintaining a tight pressure boundary. They are commonly used in steelmaking facilities where long piping systems are exposed to wide temperature swings and continuous thermal growth.

Engineered for rugged service conditions, these joints help absorb linear expansion and contraction, reducing strain on piping systems and protecting connected equipment from thermal stress and movement-related fatigue.

Typical applications include:

• High-temperature process and transfer piping
• Utility water and service piping systems
• Long runs between furnaces and auxiliary equipment
• Steam and condensate lines in plant services
• General piping systems requiring controlled axial movement

Our metal hose assemblies are widely used in steelmaking facilities where extreme temperatures, vibration, and thermal movement can place significant strain on rigid piping systems. Designed for flexibility and durability, they provide reliable connections in demanding process environments.

Manufactured from corrugated stainless steel with external braid reinforcement, our metal hose assemblies offer superior flexibility, durability, and vibration isolation compared to rigid piping, ensuring reliable connections in demanding steelmaking environments.

Typical applications include:

• Furnace and high-temperature process connections
• Cooling water and process fluid systems
• Pump, valve, and equipment connections
• Off-gas and air handling systems
• Utility piping and general service lines
