it performs all the same functions of reinforcement of thin wall refractory linings
Flex metal is the direct counterpart of Hex metal. It performs all the same functions in reinforcement of thin wall refractory linings, while its' design allows free form rolling to very small diameters. Hex metal becomes impractical when the section of plant being protected is of small diameter. The free rolling capabilities of Flex metal allows plant as small as 150 mm to be lined. Typical applications include Air Distributors, Cyclone Diplegs, Fan Cases, or any other plants where the practicality of free rolling material is beneficial to maintenance activities.
