These 59″ x 39.5″ fabric expansion joints were fabricated using a 1/8″ thick neoprene sheet. The joints were then bonded to the carbon steel angles and plates, and secured using stainless steel band clamps, with T-bolt latches. The carbon steel angles and plates were primed and finished at U.S. Bellows, Inc.’s paint production facility. |
The expansion joints were designed to facilitate any vibration and movement during the generator units’ normal operation.
