COMPENSATORS- TP 101CEXPANSION JOINTPRODUCT
TERMOGASKET . designs and provides fabric expansion joints (or non-metallic expansion joints) for each individual application. Fabric or non-metallic expansion joints need to be designed so that an impermeable seal is maintained between the flue gas and the outside air. These factors include:
|
|
Each expansion joint needs to be made with these in consideration. If the expansion joint is made to the proper specifications, it will be
optimal for application.
TERMOGASKET , designs and builds each expansion joint to meet the customer’s unique application, including the framing, insulation pillows and baffle plate arrangement.
The following expansion joint styles are a sampling of the basic types available. Many additional customized expansion joint styles are also available.

COMPOSITES TO 1000 DEGREES F. (750T)
Termogasket 750-T is a composite style expansion joint.
This style is for high temperatures that exceed the limits of the fluoropolymer. 750T
utilizes Vermacite fabric and Burlglass insulation that are sewn to the 500-T or Teflex
material. TP 750-T is suitable for acidic flue gas, and for temperatures up to 750
degrees continuous.
The 750-T is the most versatile of the Termogasket composite joints. However, each expansion joint is constructed to meet the demands of the media and application. For your specific application, please
FOR ABRASIVE SERVICE: Use Norfab 800 or Norfab 400 jacket
FOR HIGHER PRESSURE: Use SS wire reinforce glass fabric jacket
FOR HIGHER TEMPERATURE: Use Flextech 850T..’S’ glass jacket
*For temperatures above 850 F, use insulation pillow. For extreme abrasion, use baffle plates.

COMPOSITES TO 1000 DEGREES F. (850T)
Termogasket 750-T is a composite style expansion joint that utilizes’S’ glass fabric, Burlglass insulation, and an additional thermoglass layer that are sewn to the 500-T or Teflex material. The ‘S’ glass fabrics retain high tensile strength and flexibility when exposed to temperatures as high as 1000 degrees F. At 850 degrees the tensile strength remains as high as 400LBS/INCH.
