Expansion Springs

VMS expansion springs are produced from 300 series stainless steel and are available in both 2” and 4” lengths. They are designed to be used in conjunction with stainless steel strapping to provide expansion capabilities in the securing of insulation on tanks, equipment and other large vessels subject to significant expansion and contraction.

Expansion springs are used to establish stretch recovery capabilities in strapping applications subject to high degrees of expansion and contraction.

Wire Mesh

VMS offers wire mesh and expanded metal products for use in both field and shop installation of thermal insulation. Knitted wire mesh is used in combination with aluminum foil to fabricate high-temperature blankets.

Wire mesh is easy to install and work with. It is an ideal material for removable and reusable blankets, covers and jackets. Due to its construction, knitted wire mesh is flexible and durable, offering similar thermal properties to more expensive alternatives.

Typical applications include marine, petrochemical and power utility applications.

Acoustic Metal Jacketing

Mass Loaded Vinyl

VMS mass loaded vinyl (MLV) is often utilized and designed for sound control applications in industrial and commercial environments such as:

• Equipment
• Piping
• Ductwork
• Vibration and damping treatment
• Other noise control applications

Quiet-Jac ™

VMS Quiet-Jac™ incorporates a foil barrier and VMS aluminum jacketing to which a mass loaded vinyl has been factory laminated with a double-faced visco-elastic adhesive film. Quiet-Jac™ can be used in outdoor applications where a protective covering may be required. It is often specified by design engineers for sound control applications in both industrial and commercial environments such as:

• Equipment
• Piping
• Ductwork
• Vibration and damping treatment
• Other noise control applications
