Slide plates play a crucial role in industrial piping systems by reducing friction, allowing smooth movement during thermal expansion, and preventing damage. These components help maintain pipeline integrity, reduce wear, and enhance durability, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
The evolution of reinforcement pad (Repad) design has significantly advanced industrial piping systems. Originally basic metal reinforcements, Repads now feature custom designs and high-performance materials like composite materials and advanced alloys for enhanced strength, corrosion resistance, and adaptability in various environments. With the integration of technologies such as Finite Element…
