The ABRA-LINE™ family of products was developed for highly abrasive applications typically found in the power generation, fertilizer, mining and chemical industries. These may include flue gas desulphurization systems, phosphate mining, dry bulk power transfer systems, tailings and slurry applications. Our proprietary urethane formula was designed to reduce wear and extend
service life.
Style 404 Expansion Joints are specially designed for full vacuum abrasive service applications. The tube material is a proprietary urethane formulation. Style 404 can be constructed as a single or multiple arch design. It can also connect pipe flanges in concentric or eccentric tapers, to join piping of unequal diameters.

Observation
A stainless hosing was used and would continuously fail due to abrasion on the leading edge of the hose. The hosing would last for 3 to 6 months before replacement.
Gallagher Fluid Seals represents a number of expansion joint manufacturers, enabling us to provide an expansion joint for any piping system in any industry. The ABRA-LINE™ Rubber Expansion Joints from Garlock are meant for highly-abrasive applications.
The Garlock ABRA-LINE™ Style 4394 Rubber Expansion Joint is a multi-convoluted, lightweight expansion joint, designed for lower pressure applications that require significant amounts of movement, axially and/or laterally. Its low spring rates make it ideal for load cell, bin activator, vibrating bin, silo, and shaker boot applications. The below success story comes directly from Garlock and an application using the ABRA-LINE™ Style 4394 joints.
Garlock ABRA-LINE ™ rubber expansion joints offer superior performance, reliability and service life in your plant. Expansion joints are specially engineered products inserted in a rigid piping system to achieve one or more of the following:
