BurgFlex® Single-Layer Expansion Joints

---

A single-layer expansion joint is designed using a single layer of material, which can vary based on the specific application requirements. The layer is typically made from a combination of fabric, various elastomers, or fluoropolymers, often reinforced with fabric to create composite materials.

• Tightness and Chemical Resistance:

◦ Single-layer expansion joints provide exceptional sealing capabilities, effectively preventing leakage and ensuring tightness when exposed to heavy condensate. This feature is crucial in applications where chemical resistance is paramount.

• Material Options:

◦ The versatility in material selection allows for optimal performance in diverse environments, accommodating factors like temperature fluctuations, pressure variations, and chemical exposure.

The use of fabric expansion joints that are pre-assembled onto steel components offers numerous benefits:

• Efficiency in Manufacturing:

◦ All pre-assembly work is conducted in BURGFLEX's state-of-the-art facility, ensuring high-quality construction and rigorous testing before the product reaches the installation site.

• Quick and Easy Installation:

◦ The installation of the pre-assembled unit into the duct is streamlined, significantly reducing the time and labor required on-site. This efficiency minimizes potential downtime for industrial operations.

• Secure Transport:

◦ Transport brackets are utilized to secure the unit during both transportation and installation, ensuring that the expansion joints remain in place and are not damaged during handling.

• Segmented Design for Large Units:

◦ For larger units, transportation is facilitated by dividing the expansion joints into manageable sections. These sections can be welded on-site, making handling, transportation, and installation easier while maintaining structural integrity.

BurgFlex® single-layer expansion joints are ideal for various industrial applications, including:

• Flue gas systems

• Chemical processing

• HVAC systems

• Power generation

By utilizing single-layer expansion joints, businesses can enhance the efficiency and reliability of their systems while minimizing installation complexities.
