Fabric Expansion Joints

Fabric Expansion Joints

Fabric expansion joints are specially designed and dimensioned for each application with regard to the operating conditions in question. In addition to the dimensions, we need information about the medium, temperature, pressure and movements. The pipeline expands at operating temperature. Depending on the configuration of the fixed and sliding points, such stretching is accommodated by the expansion joint in an axial, lateral and/or angular direction. The thermal expansion must be determined when planning the pipeline, and will influence the choice of expansion joint construction shape as well as the choice of optimal installation length.
