Manufacturers produce ducting expansion joints with many design considerations in mind.
For top non-metallic expansion joints for duct systems, smart businesses turn to Sudbury International Engineered Products Limited. Manufacturers produce these joints with many design considerations in mind, from components to frames and clamping devices. Among these considerations are the specific functions of the joint components.
Sudbury International’s expansion joints for duct systems each include a backup bar, flange reinforcement, a gas seal membrane, an insulating layer, and an insulation retainer layer.
Absorbing vibration and thermal movements
The flexible element is the part of the joint that absorbs vibration and the ductwork’s thermal movements. This element should include a gas seal membrane with at least one optional insulating layer, an insulation retainer layer, and flange gasket. Optional layers are necessary if the system temperature exceeds the gas seal membrane’s temperature range.
The functions of Sudbury International expansion joints for duct systems go as follows:
Because fluoroplastics have high density, users need a flexible gasket that is compatible with the flow media between the metal attachment flange and the fluoroplastic gas seal membrane for a sufficient seal. Sharp edges that may contact the flexible element should be ground smooth or radiused, to prevent element damage.
