BurgFlex ® expansion joints are made from a combination of materials that have been used for many decades, and others developed more recently in response to technological advancement and demands of consumers. All materials used to make Burgflex ® expansion joints undergo a battery of tests and control procedures which replicate actual conditions under which the expansion joint must operate. The materials are tested in the following areas:
• Flexibility
• Temperature resistance
• Chemical resistance
• Mechanical strength
• Heat Convection
• Recovery rate after compression
• Tensile strength
• Abrasive and tear strength
Materials and Application Technology Combined to Provide the Best Possible Engineering Support Experience & technology enables Burgflex ® to provide its customers with the very best engineering and technical support.
• Document design with detailed construction drawings, measurements and instructional drawings along with information on relevant specifications for other components.
• Provide the best materials based on operating conditions • Design for optimum survivability
• Protect plant duct work and operating systems from vibrations and thermal stress.
