KOREMA® links tradition with innovation Products KOREMA® is one of the leading manufacturers of flexible expansion joints. Expansion joints connect up pipelines. These transition elements compensate for movements and can also act as acoustic and thermal decouplers. The various designs arise from the different movements which need to be absorbed: belt types, U types and a variety of special designs. History The company was founded at its present location in Weiterstadt near Darmstadt, Germany, in 1968. For its time, it was the first specialist company in the world to manufacture novel types of...

A sandwich made to measure Expansion joints have a sandwich design. Elastomers and foils are calendered onto high strength substrates and the attachment areas are then vulcanised by means of special adhesives. Depending on the design, the joints have excellent temperature stability and outstanding chemical resistance. Flow liners prevent abrasive media in turbulent flow from damaging the fabric. Tight and stable Elastomers such as Silikon®, Hypalon® and Viton® provide resistance to media attack and improve joint sealing. Externally they act as protection against physical damage and atmospheric...

General information about KOREMA® expansion joints Connecting pipes KOREMA® expansion joints connect piping systems which convey gaseous or dust laden flue gases at pressures above or below atmospheric pressure. The function of flexible joints is to absorb pipe movements in all directions: - Axial expansion and contraction (linear movement) - Lateral offset (side movement) - Torsion (twisting ) The point of application determines the design The precise design of the expansion joint is determined by its point of application. The basic shapes are round, square and oval. Expansions joints with differing...

Standard at a high level The most common type KOREMA® U type expansion joints are the most frequently installed version. They are also referred to as «flange type» since they are flanged between the ends of two pipes or ducts. Flange design is dependent on the existing plant, customer specifications or the existing steel construction on site. This type also comes with pre-insulation and protection against dust-laden media. Additional elastomeric gaskets ensure drip tightness if the system operates at or below dew point. KOREMA® expansion joint fitted between induced draught fan and stack
