BETA DamperX - Fins for Small-Bore Attachments
DamperX™ fins are custom-cut pieces of specialized viscoelastic material used to dampen out excessive vibrations on small-bore attachments. The fins (or gussets) are glued into place using a structural adhesive. In many cases, installation can happen in 20 minutes. The fins can also be painted for a consistent finish.
- No welding
- Fast installation
- Long-lasting (track record of 5+ years of service)
- Custom-cut to your application
- Easy to implement
- Effectively solve small-bore vibration problems
DamperX™ fins are best suited for small-bore connections that can be supported back to either the main pipe or nearby structure within a length of about 6 inches (150mm) or less.
Requirements:
- Operating temperature range of -17°C to +60°C (1°F to 140°F)
- Branch connection sizes 20mm to 200mm (¾” to 8”)
- Installation and curing while shut down
Where to use DamperX fins
- Flexibility in the nozzle or shell
- Resonant vibration
- Geometry
When not to use DamperX fins
- During the design phase, in place of a bad design
- Vibration limits after fin install
- Geometry restrictions
