The challenge in industrial piping systems
Pipes that carry hot gases, liquids or other process media expand as the temperature rises. They then contract again as the system cools down. In addition, pumps, machinery and other equipment generate vibrations that travel through the pipework. Woven metal mesh for expansion joints helps to absorb these movements and vibrations in a controlled manner.
A completely rigid pipework system cannot always accommodate these movements without issues. This can lead to stresses on joints, pipe sections and connected equipment. Expansion joints must therefore be flexible enough to absorb movement. At the same time, they must be able to withstand the temperature, pressure and mechanical loads within the process.
Metal mesh forms a flexible and strong component of industrial expansion joints. Its woven structure enables controlled movement. Furthermore, the mesh helps to absorb vibrations and dynamic loads within the pipework system.
This allows connected pipe sections and equipment to move relative to one another. At the same time, the expansion joint prevents all forces from being transmitted directly to rigid connections. Expansion joints with metal mesh are therefore used in sectors such as the steel industry, the petrochemical industry and the energy sector. It is precisely within these sectors that reliability under harsh conditions is essential.
Expansion joints often operate under high temperatures and pressures. The choice of material therefore plays a crucial role. Royal Dinxperlo manufactures metal mesh for expansion joints from heat-resistant materials, including AISI 309 stainless steel and Incoloy DS.
These materials retain their properties under demanding industrial conditions. This makes them a suitable basis for expansion joints that need to absorb movement and vibrations. Furthermore, Royal Dinxperlo can tailor the design to the required flexibility and conditions within the installation.
