Fabric Compensators
Fabric Compensator apear as some alternative for Metal Bellow Compensators especially where you deal with high vibration compensation expectations or you do have applications with high vibration, it can apear that working conditions exclude to use metal or rubber compensator and those two can be damaged because of to high frequency amplitude moment. Fabric Expansion Joints can be made of such materials like aluminosilicate (+1240 °C), glass fibre (+550 °C), silicon (+220 °C), PTFE (+250 °C), sometimes some steel fibre braid as reinforcement.

In our Fabric Expansion Joints production range are maybe 20 different material types with different thickness, density and different overall heat transfer coefficient and all this influence right construction with typical Fabric Expansion Joints sizes up to DN4000 mm.
