Fabric Gas Turbine Exhaust (GTX) Expansion Joints
In order to better serve the needs of our customers, we created several different types of GTX expansion joints depending on service conditions. By using a series of specialized fabric membranes and a series of special metal frame designs, we have developed three types of GTX expansion joints for standard, heavy duty and severe services. Because these types of joints are so critical, we have also implemented a stringent in-house testing program and a field-testing program at a Major U.S. Power Plant.
In the past, it has been the frame designs that have caused most of the problems in GTX fabric expansion joints for many users. Our experience in designing expansion joints for applications that involve temperatures far higher than those seen in GTX service has enable us to develop this line of quality products that provide good performance and a longer life.
