• Absorb Axial, Transverse and Torsional Movements

• More Movement in Shorter Face to Face

• Less force to Flex Than Metal Expansion Joints

• Excellent Corrosion / Chemical Resistance

• (-110 F to +2000 F) Temperature Capability Range

• Lower Shipping and Installation Costs

• Variety of Flexible Belt Materials Available:

• Single Layer and Composite Belts

• Elastomers Have Excellent Abrasion Resistance

• Custom designed for each specific application

Design Considerations

• MEDIA – Internal and External Environment

• TEMPERATURE – Constant Operating and Maximum Excursion

• PRESSURE – Normal Positive or Negative

• MOVEMENTS – Axial and Lateral, Simultaneously or Independently

• INSTALLATION – Existing Equipment and Duct Flanges

• ASSEMBLY – Factory Assembled or Field Spliced

Baffles

Are usually not necessary with elastomeric expansion joints due to the tube resistance to most abrasive particular matter. However, baffles must be used with fabric composite joints to protect the inner surface form particulates in the gas stream. UNAFLEX® can supply baffles fabricated from carbon steel, stainless steel, or other materials as required.

Retaining Rings

Standard Construction calls for 2" wide, 3/8" thick bars with slotted holes for easy installation. Material of construction can be carbon steel, corten or stainless steel.
