U.S. Bellows designed these EPDM neoprene fabric expansion joints for a generator fan application at a gas turbine facility. The expansion joints are 54″ in diameter and 15″ OAL. Each unit was fabricated has an EPDM fabric belt, stainless steel band clamps, and carbon steel angle flanged ends. The expansion joints are designed for -20°F/+200°F at +/- 100″ water column. A 100% dye penetrant examination on all carbon steel welds was conducted on all units prior to shipment.
