Process Barron designs, manufactures, assembles and splices all fabric and metal expansion joints and frames in-house, for a wide variety of applications including ID and FD fans, ductwork, stacks, baghouses, precipitators, and scrubbers. Technical experts are available for field inspection and evaluation services, complete field installation, temporary joint repair and splicing, and turn-key installation. Types of expansion joints currently available include:
Metal expansion joints can be designed to for corrosive environments or elevated temperature service, and accommodate axial and lateral (bi-directional) movements in flue gas and process duct systems. Non-metal expansion joints offer multi-plane movements in a short, face-to-face dimension, and can accommodate axial, lateral, torsional, and angular movements concurrently and require very smal spring rates for movements.
All Process Barron frame welding procedures comply with AWS D1.1 or the equivalent. All expansion joints comply with Fluid Sealing Association (FSA) guidlines. The fabrication of expansion joints frames use a wide variety of steels including A36, A588, stainless steels and other exotic alloys. We stock a wide variety of fabrics and insulation for standard and emergency deliveries, for low temperature applications ranging up to 1400F, and can accommodate molded fabric requests.
