U.S. Bellows: Expansion Joints and Bellows Manufacturer ...
Nov 12, 2024 · U.S. Bellows provides custom designed expansion joints in duct work and fabricated duct work assemblies. The assemblies may include fabricated elbows, tees, and straight sections of duct work, in carbon steel or stainless steel, and in diameters of 42″ or larger.
The core element of every expansion joint is the metal bellows (*), which by its corrugation geometry and thin-walled design has a large flexibil-ity in axial, lateral or angular direction, as well as a high pressure resistance. As a condition to be used as an expansion element, the bellows must meet the following basic requirements:
Badger is pleased to provide insight into metal bellow’s purpose, design, and how metal bellows function. The data presented in this handbook is consistent with the Standards of the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Associ-ation (EJMA), of which Badger is a founding member.
What is a Pipe Expansion Joint and Why do I need one?
Piping Expansion Joints or Expansion Bellows are highly engineered mechanical devices containing one or more metal/rubber bellows. Expansion Joints are used to absorb dimensional changes caused by thermal expansion or contraction of a pipeline, duct, or vessel while containing the system pressure.
Design Considerations for a Piping System with an Expansion ...
When Expansion Bellow is Required in a Piping System? Expansion Joints or Expansion bellows are mechanical devices that absorb thermal movement. It consists of one or more metallic or non-metallic bellows. In general expansion bellows or expansion joints (Fig. 1) is not recommended in a piping system.
Definition of the use of Expansion Joints (Bellows) in Piping ...
Expansion joints are used in piping systems to absorb thermal expansion or terminal movement where the use of expansion loops is undesirable or impractical. Expansion joints are available in many different shapes and materials. Bellow you will find a short description of Metallic, Rubber and Teflon® joints.
