Fabric expansion joints are among the material options for systems that need to be able to accommodate changes in temperature and mechanical force. Fabrics can be manufactured out of a variety of materials that provide the right characteristics for the process in question. Fabric expansion joints are used in a variety of industrial processes, from the petrochemical industry to power generation plants.

Fabric Expansion Joint Construction

Fabric expansion joints are manufactured out of several different materials. Some of them, particularly those that are used in systems where gas seals need to be provided, include Fluoroalastomer and Fluroplastic. Fabric expansion joints are also constructed out of rubberized materials, in some cases. There are a host of different materials used in manufacture, which expands the range of uses for which these devices can be employed.

Fabric Expansion Joint Function

Fabric expansion joints function in the same way as do expansion joints made of metal but are better choices for some purposes. They are constructed with a bellows that allows them to expand or contract to accommodate changes in pressure. The bellow is constructed with convolutions that allow for this expansion. The flexibility of these fabric expansion joints allows them to accommodate deflection from any angle. They also provide vibration absorption and noise absorption for the system.
