Technical Specifications

Design and Operating Principle

ArmorHeat Fabric Expansion Joint designs are optimized using a multilayer high-temperature resistant fabric structure combined with mechanical protective layers.

The compensator structure absorbs thermal expansion, vibrations, and duct movements caused by process gases, while the outer protective layers provide additional protection against abrasion, particulate impact, and environmental stress.

Systems can be manufactured in circular or rectangular cross-sections and can be adapted to different duct geometries using flanged or frame-type mounting options.

Thanks to its high flexibility and low reaction force, it contributes to reducing mechanical loads on duct and equipment systems.

Performance Advantages

• Provides superior resistance to high temperatures and mechanical stress
• Offers protection against dust, particulates, and external environmental conditions
• Absorbs thermal expansion and vibrations
• Suitable for heavy industrial applications
• Reduces equipment loads due to low reaction force
• Ensures long service life
• Helps extend maintenance intervals
• Delivers reliable performance under harsh process conditions

Operating Values

Operating Pressure

• Maximum 0.3 bar

Operating Temperature

-20°C / +750°C
(depending on protective and insulation layers)

Movement Capacities

• Axial Movement: ±60 mm – 180 mm
• Lateral Movement: ±40 mm – 130 mm
• Angular Movement: ±8° – 18°

Note: The ArmorHeat series is optimized for process lines where physical protection requirements are as critical as high-temperature resistance.
