Sudbury International helps ducting with fabric industrial expansion joints

Non-metallic expansion joints are one of Sudbury International's main specialties.

Ducting and piping systems need to function properly in all industrial facilities. This is why many Canadian businesses turn to Sudbury International Engineered Products Limited for its top inventory of fabric industrial expansion joints. Just one example of the company’s impressive product lineup – which also includes metal, rubber, and dog-bone expansion joints – these non-metallic joints are cost-effective, long-term solutions for ducts. The Sudbury International team uses its collective experience and expertise to guide all customers to the right solutions for their individual, unique applications.

Adding flexibility to ducting systems

Sudbury International’s expansion joints are assemblies that are constructed to absorb the temperature-induced expansion and contraction of construction material safely, hold parts together, and/or enable movement caused by earthquakes or ground settlement. Primarily used in piping and ducting applications, fabric industrial expansion joints add flexibility to ducting systems to absorb thermal growth, isolate noise and vibration, and compensate for misalignment.

Non-metallic expansion joints from Sudbury International come with high standards for quality. Each is made of six high-performance elements – active length, gas seal, outer cover, insulation, support layers, and flange reinforcement – and undergoes stringent testing, inspection, and verification.

This line of fabric industrial expansion joints also combines high flexibility with durability. Flexing them requires less force than flexing metal joints does, but they can withstand the stresses of highly challenging work environments. Sudbury International provides non-metallic expansion joints for businesses in a wide variety of industries, including smelting, electrical utilities, petro-chemicals, and pulp and paper.

Another key advantage of these fabric expansion joints is that they offer stress relief for piping and ducting systems. They can be employed in a broad spectrum of temperatures, and they provide such valuable benefits as simple installation, convenient repairs, and high corrosion and chemical resistance.

Sudbury International carries a variety of styles of non-metallic expansion joints. Customers can choose from square, u-type, belt-type, round, and rectangular units in a range of materials. The company has been helping clients find the right solutions for unique applications for close to 45 years. Choose the Sudbury International team to protect ducting systems.
