These custom single expansion joints were manufactured for a rare isotopes beams lab at Michigan State University. They are 1″ and 1-1/2″ in diameter and fabricated entirely of 304 stainless steel. The expansion joints are capable of 1″ movement, 380 lb. and 150 psig at 400°F. Dye penetrant exam and helium leak test was conducted prior to shipment.
This presentation will briefly touch on the basics of fabric expansion joints; however, is mainly focused on the various designs, material details, and applications. Learn how fabric expansion joints are engineered and fabricated for various applications and the many factors that influence those designs. View the abundance of materials used, including Fluoroplastic and Fluoroelastomer, and their respective capabilities. Take a journey through a Fossil Fired Power Plant and see exactly where fabric expansion joints are required.
