FLEXOCON ENGINEERS established in 2001, backed by few
qualified Mechanical Engineers having more than 15 years Experience in
Expansion Joints field at various application
FLEXOCON ENGINEERS is a dynamic service oriented manufacturing
company specializing in the production of following
+ Fabric composite bellow expansion joint assemblies
+ Metallic Expansion Joint bellows
+ Rubber expansion Bellows.
The technical calculations of FLEXOCON ENGINEERS designs are
based on recognized standards and carried out on our specially developed
computer program and displayed on our CAD system.
Experienced and well-trained staff in the Engineering Department
and in Production, combined with continuous R&D efforts - that is how we
believe optimum solutions can be found for the manufacturing of Non-
metallic (fabric) composite expansion joint assemblies.
FLEXOCON ENGINEERS quality system is based on ISO 9001.
This means that the system includes all links starting with through selection
and inspection of materials to engineering, production, packaging and
site supervisiom and service. We continuously strive to refine and further
develop our system as it is essential for the company to be able to document
product complicrice with specified requirements.
FLEXOCON ENGINEERS's mission is to deliver expansion joint
solutions that are DESIGNED TO LAST A LIFETIME.rd

or any shapeFLEXOCON ENGINEERS production consists of single or multi layer composite
fabric attached to steel support frames for axial, lateral or angular movement control, as well
‘as special service designs. The assemblies are supplied ready to be installed:
Non-metallic expansion Joints are supplied in single or multiple layer composite
construction with a variety of advanced technical fabrics to suit service conditions and temperatures
including: $8316 and INCOLOY wire mesh, glass and ceramic woven and felt insulation, PTFE
‘and Fluoroplastic films, and various elastomers. Steel support frames are generally fabricated
from the same material as the connecting equipment including all available corbon, alloy and
stainless steels,
A Types: In general there are wo types of non-metallic expansion joints hose
instolled in systems operating at or below 120UC (Elastomeric types) and (2) those installed
4n systems operating above 120°C (Composite types.)
1. Elastomeric type: A solid
product with one or more reinforcing piles
laminated with on elastomeric material
which is vulcanized into a homogenous
solid product
Expansion joints operating
continuously at or below 120°C will
generally be of the elastomeric type. The
Overall thickness and number of reinforcing
plies may vary depending upon aplicaiton
conditions and design concept. The
elastomeric type provides an inner cover
elastomer selected for its resistance to the
system gasses and operating temperature,
and an outside cover elastomer selected
for its resistance to external atmospheric
mares conditions. The inner and outer covers can
ineitng Fabric be the some of different elostomeric
Insulating Material Sean Fa compounds depending upon the
manufacturer's design
temperature SOC
Medium stig
The ability of this product to
withstand the system operating and excursion
temperatures is based upon the elastomer
selected by he expansion joint manufacture.
2. Compésite Type: A layered product that consists of various plies of material
which are Jaid one: o¥er te other ond are ususlly bonded, sewn, of mechanically fastened
jogetherin the clamp or flange area. This method of construction allows each material layer
to function independently of the others. Expansion joints in systems that operate continuously
above 1200C will be a composite type.

(Bending) : (Rotation)Bellow type metallic expansion joints
‘are oldest and most efficient and functionally
reliable compensator for all applications
involving high temperature and pressure.
These are made from metals like :
+ AISI 304,316,321
+ Inconel
+ Monel
+ MS. Ete.
Features :
Highly flexible and able to absorb
oxial/lateral/angular_ movement
+ Individually designed on EJMA
parameter.
+ Suitable for temperature up to
1909° C.
Available in circular size from
18 mm to 5000 mm and any size in
rectangular construction.
With extensive research and
development in rubber manufacturing
process these sort of joints are developed
and designed for multipurpose applications
These are used fo absorb and protect the
system from vibration, noise, thermal
‘expansion, stress and movement and protect
‘against start up surge force. These are suited
for high pressure up to 50 Bar and
temperature up to 400 ° C (with special
construction the same can be increased).
These are made from high tensile
rubber with Rayon/Nylon reinforcement and
metal rings for various duties. These are
available up to the circular size of 3000mm
.D.. These are generally required at pumps,
turbines, ballest lines, vacuum lines etc.De RMT Lan enced ee Re
