Metal expansion joints
The convoluted metal bellows is designed for the specific application, the combination of number of convolutions, number of plies, material and ply thickness all being optimised.
The bellows will meet the requested movements, at the design pressure and temperature, with a given cycle life.
The metal bellows is always either welded to a pipe end or directly to a flange.
Metal bellows can handle pressures ranging from vacuum to 100 Barg, and temperatures to over 1,400ºC with internal insulation.
