Visco-Elastic Damper
Visco-Elastic Dampers provide a resisting force proportional to the speed of movement in main-line pipework.
They are an alternative solution to fixed pipe support systems for reducing vibrations and thus pipework fatigue.
Visco-Elastic DamperIn some applications, pipework must remain free to move statically due to temperature increases. This requires a bracing approach that permits thermal movement while still providing dynamic restraint. Visco-Elastic Dampers provide a resisting force proportional to the speed of movement, offering vibration control without locking the system in place. We can also supply visco-elastic damping solutions for main-line pipework through our key supply relationship with GERB (Berlin). |
Ideal when pipework must accommodate thermal growth while still requiring vibration control. |
Visco-Elastic Damper
Where pipework must remain free to move due to thermal expansion, Visco-Elastic Dampers provide dynamic restraint by generating resistance proportional to movement speed.
Main-line damping solutions are also available through our supply relationship with GERB (Berlin).
