Iranian company uses expansion joint technology to enhance pipeline safety
A knowledge-based Iranian company is making significant strides in protecting industrial pipelines from heat and pressure-related damage by producing high-quality expansion joints and industrial lubricants.
Using domestic expertise and a robust quality assurance system, the company manufactures a variety of expansion joints in accordance with international standards including EJMA, FSA, ASME, and ASTM.
According to the office of the Iranian
Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, the company has successfully installed and commissioned these expansion joints across multiple industries.
As a direct supplier of high-performance heat-resistant fabrics for the US-based Alpha Company, the firm incorporates these materials into the design of its fabric expansion joints to ensure optimal performance.
Fabric expansion joints are engineered to accommodate misalignments and thermal movements in pipelines and ducts. Composed of a metallic frame and heat-resistant fabric, they allow multi-directional flexibility while maintaining complete sealing integrity—crucial for systems exposed to temperature fluctuations.
In addition to fabric models, the company also offers accordion-type expansion joints that provide a robust solution to thermal and mechanical stress in pipeline systems.
These joints are widely used in vital sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, steel manufacturing, and power generation.
Key benefits of these accordion expansion joints include thermal and mechanical stress absorption, prevention of pipe ruptures, extended pipeline lifespan, and reduction of production downtime.
