What happens when you heat liquid carbon dioxide? #Cardox – high-pressure gas (>40,000psi) Cement plants use it to clear plugged preheater tower meal-pipes. This metal bellows was too close to a Cardox charge (top left) which destroyed the refractory meal-pipe lining & damaged the expansion joint. The refractory was repaired with Blu Ram (phos-bonded mullite) and we manufactured a new bolt-in metal bellows expansion joint which slides into the meal-pipe (bottom left & right).

Proco Products Tied Universal Expansion Joint with a centerspool of FRP pipe. Got nasty chemicals in your application that steel just won’t take? Proco can match the FRP pipe in your system to provide superior corrosion resistance.

These Proco Products Penetration Seals were just installed in the chemical & sludge wet wells at a combined cycle power plant. They can be unchained, wrapped around the pipe, slid into place, and then expanded to create a watertight seal. Excellent for retrofit applications.

If you look closely at the restraining hardware (tie-rods) on these expansion joints, you’ll see there are no outboard nuts. That means these EJs are exerting their full pressure thrust upon the adjacent piping. Apparently the elbows below them are handling it well, as they’ve been installed for 15 years.

This universal expansion joint got put on the high pressure bleed air line of a gas turbine, deforming the metal bellows. It was made for the low pressure bleed air. Check with us first and we’ll help you avoid rush orders and emergency repairs.

We ran into a welder with our sticker on his hood while doing some HRSG penetration seal repairs this weekend. He’s had it on there since 2003 when we showed him how to splice Teflon expansion joints on air ducts at a different power plant!
