Fabric expansion joints are essential components in various industrial applications, designed to accommodate movement, temperature fluctuations, and pressure changes while providing insulation and chemical resistance.
1. Material Composition
EAS fiberglass insulation glass fabric is commonly employed in non-metal fabric expansion joints, serving as an insulation belt for compensators that handle light in highly corrosive environments. The fabric is sewn to create durable, flexible duct connectors, making it suitable for industries such as power generation, steel manufacturing, and cement production.
2. High-Performance Fabrics
The high-elastic belt fabric options—PTFE, silicone, Viton, EPDM, and coated fiberglass—are engineered to meet rigorous standards for flexibility, high strength, and compression resistance. These materials ensure excellent chemical resistance and weathering protection, enhancing the joint's longevity and performance in challenging conditions.
3. Insulation Solutions
Composite insulation solutions may include glass fiber needle mats, ceramic blankets, wire-reinforced glass fabrics, silica fabrics, and ceramic fabrics. These composites are tailored for specific operational temperatures ranging from 260°C to 1000°C and can withstand pressure grades below 40,000 Pa, ensuring effective thermal insulation and protection.
4. Customization Based on Requirements
The selection of materials for fabric expansion joints is determined by several factors, including the media's corrosive properties, the working temperature (options available at 200°C, 500°C, 700°C, and 1000°C), movement strength, and pressure conditions. This customization allows for optimal performance and durability tailored to specific industrial needs.
In summary, fabric expansion joints utilizing advanced insulation and high-performance materials are critical for ensuring the reliable operation of various industrial systems while mitigating the effects of environmental and mechanical stresses.
