Antisquirm T-Bands   More Reasons To Specify Flexijoints®
 

T-bands™

T-Band™ support of  convolution root and sidewall increases the stability at higher working pressures. At the maximum compression limit of the Flexijoint, the T-Bands™ will butt to prevent over-compression. Conventional support rings support only the convolution root and can not limit compression of the expansion joint.

Limitlink™ Restraint Cables

These cables prevent over extension of the expansion joint.  They provide maximum flexibility in stress-sensitive piping systems.

Antisquirm® T-Bands™

The Antisquirm Flexijoint greatly improves the lateral stability of the bellows in High Pressure services. Restraints on the T-Bands™ guide the bellows during axial movement to eliminate squirming of the convolutions.

Custom Design and Engineering

Sermatech-Ethylene's professional, experienced staff can help in the solution of problematic applications. We offer CAD/CAE services including fast turn-around approval drawings in either traditional paper format or paperless format.
The Flexijoint is the only PTFE expansion joint capable of meeting all your unique requirements:

  • Special Flanging
    300 Class ANSI, BS, DIN, JIS as well as custom flange drilling is available.
  • Special Flange Materials
    Mating flanges and T-Bands™ can be supplied in Stainless Steels, Fiberglass, Carbon Steel, Ductile Iron and other materials.
  • 2 through 10 convolutions
    Provide maximum axial, angular and lateral movement and minimizes spring rate
  • J-bolt Flanges
    For mating against large diameter glass lined flanges.
  • Vacuum Rings
    Vacubands can be supplied in a variety of materials to provide full vacuum rating at temperatures up ot 400°F through 42" diameter
