Description
Fabricated Expansion Joints are specially manufactured metallic expansion joints designed to accommodate thermal movement, vibration, and minor displacement in low-pressure industrial piping and ducting systems. Their fabricated construction allows MechFlex to provide customized shapes, sizes, and configurations for applications where standard formed bellows may not be suitable.
MechFlex manufactures Fabricated Expansion Joints for large-diameter piping, industrial ducting, air-handling systems, exhaust systems, and other low-pressure applications. The design can be customized according to system dimensions, operating conditions, movement requirements, material selection, and installation arrangement.
