The bellows is the flexible element at the heart of a metal expansion joint or compensator, formed from thin-wall stainless or special alloy into a corrugated profile that flexes without fatiguing.

Wall thickness, ply count and convolution geometry set the trade-off between movement capacity and pressure rating: more plies raise pressure capability, deeper convolutions raise movement. Cycle life falls off quickly if the bellows is asked to take more movement than it was formed for.

Send the bore, required movement, cycle expectation, medium, and operating temperature and pressure, and we will quote against the specification.

Applications

  • Expansion joint replacement
  • High-temperature pipe systems
  • Cyclic movement duty
  • Corrosive and special-alloy service
