Expansion joints serve a crucial role in industrial ductwork by facilitating the controlled expansion and contraction of ducts. Their primary function is to accommodate thermal movements within the ductwork system. They mitigate thermally induced stresses by allowing thermal movements in a relatively unrestricted manner. Expansion joints contribute to the overall flexibility and structural integrity of the system which is essential in preventing the build-up of stress that could otherwise lead to damage in equipment, ductwork, and supporting structures.

Dampers play a crucial role in the functionality of industrial ductwork as they are designed to control the flow of air or flue-gas within the ducts. The primary purpose of most dampers is to act as shut-off dampers. This means they are either fully open or fully closed depending on the operational requirements. However, some dampers are specifically installed to modulate the gas flow, allowing them to function in various partially open positions. The variability in damper functionality caters to different operating scenarios and provides flexibility in managing the flow of air or flue-gas through the duct system.
