Choosing between a fabric expansion joint and a metal expansion joint is not simply a question of which product is stronger or which material can withstand the highest temperature. The correct choice depends on how the system moves, what pressure it operates under, what medium passes through it, the size of the duct or pipe, and how much load can be transferred to connected equipment. In general, ...

A non metallic expansion joint is a flexible connection used in industrial ducting and gas-handling systems to accommodate thermal growth, vibration, offset and multidirectional movement. Instead of relying on a formed metal bellows as the primary flexible element, it uses engineered fabric, coated textile, elastomeric or composite layers selected for the operating environment. These joints are es...

A rectangular fabric expansion joint provides a flexible connection between large square or rectangular sections of industrial ductwork. It allows the duct system to accommodate thermal expansion, lateral displacement, vibration and structural movement without transferring excessive loads into adjoining equipment and supports. Rectangular designs are especially common in power-generation ducts, bo...

What Is High Silica Fabric? Properties, Grades and Applications High silica fabric is a high-temperature woven textile made from silica-rich glass fibers. It is engineered for applications where conventional fiberglass fabric is no longer sufficient and where resistance to sustained heat, flame, thermal shock, and dimensional change is required. Unlike ordinary heat-resistant fabrics, high silica ...

How to Choose a Kevlar Hose Sleeve for Hydraulic Hose Protection Choosing the right Kevlar hose sleeve is not only about matching the hose diameter. In hydraulic systems, the sleeve must match the real working environment: abrasion level, movement, sharp-edge contact, heat exposure, installation method and expected service life. Hydraulic hoses often fail because the outer rubber cover is damaged ...

70% vs 96% Silica Fabric: Which Grade Should You Choose? When specifying silica fabric for welding protection, furnace insulation, exhaust systems, fire barriers, or other high-temperature equipment, one of the first decisions is often the silica grade. Two common options are 70% silica fabric and 96% high silica fabric. Both are woven heat-resistant textiles, but they should not be considered int...
