Non-metallic expansion joints (NMEJ) offer a number of advantages, especially in plant design and building. They take up movements in several directions simultaneously, have almost no reactive forces, need little space for installation, are easy to adapt to existing physical conditions, and are easy to transport and install.
NMEJ are designed on the basis of:
Each NMEJ is custom-built to suit the application in question with regard to:
These NMEJs can be manufactured (against order) in all the necessary shapes and forms according to customer requirement viz. round, rectangular, square, oval, conical or combinations in different configurations shown below.
All fabric can be supplied as fabric part only or pre-assembled on steel parts for quick installation in the duct system.
