In an isolated duct or in a duct system, both the circulating fluid temperature and pressure changes and the atmospheric changes may produce stresses that could quickly destroy the system if there were no elements that provided flexibility to the whole unit. The solution to these problems is provided by the installation of Expansion Joints. SAFETECH has the means and knowledge to calculate those stresses and offer the most adequate solution and product for every case. The development of new solutions and products is the response given by SAFETECH to the increasing demand of energetic and environment efficiency. This technical capability is the base of SAFETECH, an experienced team of technicians and engineers with many years of experience, allow us to cover all necessities that our clients might have in the Expansion Joints field. SAFETECH may offer any standard or special solution. Our program covers all three types of Expansion Joints: Fabric, Metal and Rubber, al! used as flexible elements to absorb vibrations, misalignments, thermal expansions, or any other movement caused by internal or external vibrations.
