LSI-MECH Expertise
LSI-MECH brings extensive expertise in the design and selection of expansion joints tailored to your unique operational requirements. From material selection to configuration design, we provide end-to-end support to ensure performance, reliability, and longevity in service In addition to standard configurations, expansion joints can include several enhancements
• Redundant Plies: Additional layers for safety and durability.
• Inline Pressure Balancing: To reduce pressure thrust forces on system anchors.
• Tie Rods, Limit Rods, and Hinges: For controlled movement and protection against over extension or over compression.
Material Selection and Service Life
The service life of an expansion joint is heavily dependent on accurate material selection and design customization. Factors such as temperature, pressure, movement type, corrosion resistance, and environmental exposure must be carefully considered during the engineering process.
