Fabric expansion joints are flexible connections, which have the scope to absorb expansions, mechanical vibrations and movements of the system in which they are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Made of special textile fibers<\/strong>, completely asbestos free, the fabric expansion joints are designed and produced with several composite layers of different fabrics, in order to meet the specific project requests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually, fabric expansion joints are produced in three configurations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, they can be supplied closed or open, with or without holes, in circular, rectangular or truncated cone execution or in special shapes requested by the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They can be used in a wide variety of ways and offer a number of advantages, firstly they do not generate pressure on the pipes where they are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the fabric expansion joints can be supplied with internal bolster bags<\/strong>, which have the scope of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Actually, the installation of a bolster bag<\/strong>, has the advantage of reducing the thermal stress on the expansion joint, extending its life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, bolster bags, due to the good sound-absorbing properties of the materials used, act as an acoustic barrier, thus reducing noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each layer that makes up the fabric expansion joint is chosen for a specific purpose and is positioned in the layering assembly, so that it can operate at temperatures below its limit working temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can divide the layers into different categories; let’s see them in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the years there has been an evolution in the fabrics used to realize expansion joints, in particular those which are part of the category of sealing layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most used fabrics can be divided as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are other types, such as PVC, Hypalon or metal foils, which are used for specific applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From what we have said so far, it is clear that fabric expansion joints are not all the same, but adapt to the needs of the customer<\/strong> and the system in which they are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, it is important not to underestimate their composition and state of wear, as they play a decisive role in the proper working of your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should periodically submit the piping systems of your installations to a deep analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To have a control or a thermal analysis carried out by thermography of the expansion joints is important to understand whether the whole system is working properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fabric expansion joints should be replaced or repaired at the first signs of wear. This should not be underestimated: fabric expansion joints are essential not only to ensure the efficiency of a plant, but also to protect the environment and the safety of workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today you have the opportunity to know a company that offers something different<\/strong> from the usual expansion joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Componit is a company that has been operating for over 30 years in the production of customized products for heat treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The study and continuous research, on materials and production techniques, has allowed us to offer, our customers, high performance and innovative products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With our customized Efficiency Box\u00ae program<\/strong> you will have analysis, design and constant support from our skilled technicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We guarantee you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n By also offering a repair and maintenance service, New Componit enables you to reduce the expensive downtime of your plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to improve comfort and performance in your plant with a tailored solution?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
