How should Non-Metal Expansion Joints be stored?

2025-04-08

Non-Metal Expansion Joints should follow the requirements below during storage to ensure their performance and service life:

1.Clean Storage: Ensure that the surface of the farbic expansion joint is free from dust, dirt, and other debris before storage to prevent any impact on its performance and lifespan.

2.Avoid Extreme Environments: Do not store Fiber Compensators in environments with excessively high or low temperatures, as this may cause material aging, hardening, or embrittlement.

3.Prevent Mechanical Damage: Avoid subjecting Non Metallic Expansion Joint Fabric to compression, impact, or other mechanical damage during storage.

4.Proper Support: Use appropriate supports or pallets for storing longer or heavier non-metal compensators to minimize deformation caused by gravity.

5.Avoid Chemical Contact: store Expansion Joint Rectangular Fabric Fiber away from items that may release harmful chemicals to prevent corrosion or damage.

6.Moisture Protection: Store in a dry environment to prevent moisture from degrading material performance.

7.Clear Labeling: Clearly label stored Fabric Bellow Expansion Joint with information such as model, specifications, and storage date for easy management and tracking.

8.Avoid Long-term Stacking: Long-term stacking may adversely affect the structural integrity of non-metal compensators; store them flat or in small stacks whenever possible.

9.Regular Inspections: Even during storage, regularly inspect the condition of non metal compensators to ensure they still meet technical requirements before being put back into use.

The above requirements help ensure that non-metal compensators remain in optimal condition during storage, reducing the risk of damage due to improper storage. In practice, storage measures should be adjusted based on the specific materials of the non-metal compensators and environmental conditions.
