Industrial-Grade Piping for Petrochemical Operations
Metal expansion joints, PTFE hose, and flexible connectors engineered for extreme temperatures, pressures, and chemical environments
Why Petrochemical Piping Demands More
Extreme Conditions
Refinery piping operates at 600°F+ and 300+ PSI. Standard expansion joints cannot withstand the thermal stress and pressure cycling found in process units.
Chemical Exposure
Hydrocarbons, acids, and caustics attack standard elastomers. Media compatibility must be engineered into every joint and connector from the start.
EFP Engineering
316 SS metal expansion joints, PTFE-lined hose, and API-compliant assemblies — designed and manufactured for the most demanding petrochemical environments.
Products for Petrochemical Service
Metal Expansion Joints
316 SS bellows for high-temperature, high-pressure service. Engineered for refinery process piping and heat exchangers.
PTFE Hose and Fittings
Chemical-resistant fluoropolymer construction. Handles acids, caustics, and hydrocarbons with zero permeation.
Flue Duct Expansion Joints
Rectangular design for FCC units and exhaust systems. Accommodates large-scale thermal movement in ductwork.
Compensators
Axial, lateral, and angular movement absorption. Compact inline design for space-constrained process piping.
Special Application Assemblies
Custom-engineered solutions for unique process requirements. Built to your specifications and operating conditions.
Pipe Guides and Anchors
Heavy-duty, high-temperature rated. Controls directional movement to protect expansion joints and equipment nozzles.
