Technical Specifications
Design and Operating Principle
UltraTherm Fabric Expansion Joint designs are optimized using multilayer high-temperature resistant fabric and insulation structures.
The compensator structure reduces stresses in duct and equipment systems by absorbing thermal expansion, vibrations, and mechanical movements caused by high-temperature gas flows.
Systems can be manufactured in circular or rectangular cross-sections and can adapt to different duct geometries using flanged or frame-type connection options.
Thanks to its high-flexibility structure, it can accommodate large axial, lateral, and angular movements with low reaction force.
Performance Advantages
- Provides reliable operation at very high temperatures
- Offers higher expansion capacity compared to metal expansion joints
- Provides superior resistance to thermal shock
- Reduces mechanical stresses and vibrations
- Minimizes equipment loads due to low reaction force
- Provides large movement capacities
- Ensures suitability for harsh process conditions
- Delivers long service life
