DEKOMTE uses the latest computer and industry best practice tools and procedures to push the boundaries of product development. The discerning use of FEA and CFD together with 2D design allows a correlation of on-site empirical experience and theoretical models.
Formulation of specifications, tenders and design critique can also be offered as an independent technical service.
Movement Analysis
DEKOMTE provides engineering support to re-evaluate the plant technical specifications and validate design data. Movements, duct positions and dimensions of plant need to be updated if a replacement product is to offer a long and reliable operation.
As a plant ages, the position of ducting and the movements that occur during differing plant cycles, need to be checked and incorporated into the functional specification of the expansion joint.
rhoben und beurteilt werden.
Jede Anlage unterliegt einem Alterungsprozess. In dessen Verlauf müssen die Positionen des Rohrleitungssystems und die Bewegungen seiner Komponenten je nach Betriebszustand der Anlage geprüft werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Prüfungen gehen in die Spezifikation der funktionalen Anforderungen ein, die an den Kompensator zu stellen sind.
Alignment and Adjacent Ducting Issues
DEKOMTE reviews all the ducting system. A wider eye must be cast, if the extent of expansion joint problems and design issues are to be understood.
The adjacent duct supports, stiffeners, feet and hangers all determine the movement and stresses that will be imposed on the expansion joint. Similarly, the expansion joint reacts forces back into the adjacent components.
The aim of DEKOMTE design and engineering is to provide its clients with a holistic approach to integrated expansion joint systems.
The change of expansion joints into a duct and the positive effect on reduced cracking and fatigue is regularly noted by DEKOMTE customer.
