Expansion Joints

Expansion joints serve a crucial role in industrial ductwork by facilitating the controlled expansion and contraction of ducts. Their primary function is to accommodate thermal movements within the ductwork system. They mitigate thermally induced stresses by allowing thermal movements in a relatively unrestricted manner. Expansion joints contribute to the overall flexibility and structural integrity of the system which is essential in preventing the build-up of stress that could otherwise lead to damage in equipment, ductwork, and supporting structures.
