Thick-walled, deep convolution expansion joints are typically installed in high pressure applications in heavy industrial and process settings, classically positioned in high pressure steam lines, heat exchangers, and turbine crossover pipework. Manufactured with assembly welds at the convolution root and crest, these ultra-stable expansion joints can be manufactured in carbon and stainless-steel grades and offered with end-connections to suit the customers requirements.
When circumstances dictate that an existing expansion joint cannot be removed and replaced due to restrictions with space or time, for example in heat exchangers and wall penetrations, a clam-shell expansion joint can offer a solution. Manufactured in a single piece but delivered to site in sections, assembly is carried out adjacent to the existing joint site, either ‘covering’ the existing joint with an oversized clam-shell expansion joint, or, installed once the joint to be replaced has been removed from the system. This option dramatically reduces costly down-time and disruption to the end-user.
Rectangular, or indeed square, metal expansion joints are commonly deployed to manage thermal expansion in relatively low-pressure ducting and exhaust systems in process, marine and a multitude of industrial applications. These joints can be manufactured with rounded ‘bath-tub’ corner profiles or with smooth ‘camera’ angle profiles, with options for single and multi-ply construction and as ‘single’ and ‘double’ joints depending on the application. Rectangular expansion joints can be supplied with drilled or plain flanged connections or with pipe-ends for welding into position at site.
PTFE Expansion Joints provide outstanding chemical resistance and are widely found in the chemical, process, pharmaceutical, and food production sectors. CREON UK holds a significant stock of 3 convolution PTFE expansion joints in various diameters.
Also available on request
PTFE lined metal expansion joints provide a combination of outstanding chemical resistance with the combined pressure containment characteristics of metal expansion joints, and thus are utilised in applications that demand integrity at relatively high operating pressures.
CREON UK can provide these joints in multiple construction combinations, lengths, flange connections etc.
