Expansion Bellows
Flexibles designs and manufactures expansion joints to offer a broader range of flexible piping solutions to customers across industries. 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. At Flexibles, we design and manufacture a wide range of metallic bellows, rubber and fabric expansion joints for a broad range of flexible piping solutions for various industries. We customize expansion joints to the exact requirements and demands of our customers. Any pipe connecting two points is subjected to numerous types of action which result in stresses on the pipe. Some of the causes of these stresses are:
▪ Internal or external pressure at working temperature
▪ Weight of the pipe itself and the parts supported on it
▪ Movement imposed on pipe sections by external restraints
▪ Thermal expansion and contraction
▪ Vibration, Noise, Shock, Corrosion, Abrasion
▪ Stresses, Load Stress, Equipment Movement
▪ Vibration, Pressure Pulsation and Movement in a Piping System
