These 59” x 39.5” fabric expansion joints were fabricated using a 1/8” thick neoprene sheet. The joints were then bonded to the carbon steel angles and plates, and secured using stainless steel band clamps, with T-bolt latches. The carbon steel angles and plates were primed and finished at U.S. Bellows, Inc.'s paint production facility.
The expansion joints were designed to facilitate any vibration and movement during the generator units' normal operation.
