The Ultimate Guide of Expansion Joint at Flexpert Bellows

Flexpert Bellows Pvt Ltd started its journey  in  1992, with the prime object to manufacture the world - class expansion bellows, has now become a recognized and globally accepted provider of flexible piping systems exporting to more than 40+ countries with a wide installation base covering almost all industrial sectors including and as diversed   as nuclear power and space programs. Get to know the latest trend happening in industry of stainless steel metal bellows expansion joint.

Our wide range of products at Flexpert bellows:


Expansion Joints:

Exhaust expansion joint are designed to absorb the heat induced by expansion and contraction of pipe systems and exhaust system.  The spring rates for best overall performance. The typical pressure rating for exhaust expansion joint, temperature depending is 1.0 BarG

 

 Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint:

    Externally Pressurized Expansion joint are the best in solution when the expansion joint must absorb very large amount of axial movement under high pressure. Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint are well protected under a cover transport damage to the involvement is unlikely to occur but most importantly, the cover offers maximum protection against leaking bellows or bellows failure.              



Axial Expansion Joint



Axial Expansion Joint is designed to absorb to absorb axial movement (extension and compression in its longitudal axial movement direction). Axial Expansion Joint offers a simple and cost efficient solution in terms of movement compensation. Axial Expansion Joints can be equipped with all kinds of connectors, such welding ends or welded or lose  (rotatable) flanges


Lateral Expansion Joint


LateralExpansion Joint that mainly absorbs the lateral movement laterally along the section pipe. The lateral expansion joint is normally equipped with fixtures such as external tie rods, which allows the unit to absorb movements in all lateral direction but also absorbs the pressure thrust


Hinged Expansion Joint



Hinged Expansion Joint is a metallic assembly that can rotate in a single plane, used to absorb the changes resulting from the piping thermal expansion joint or contraction.


Universal Expansion Joint

A UniversalExpansion Joint contains two bellows with a connecting pipe or centre spool between them. It is usually furnished   with the limit rods depending upon the service conditions. 



Gimbal Expansion Joint


Gimbalexpansion joints are designed to permit angular rotation in any plane by the use of two pairs of hinges affixed to a common floating Gimbal ring.


Inline pressurized expansion joint

 A Pressure Balanced Expansion Joint  is normally a double bellows expansion joint with side outlet between the bellows

Elbow Pressurized expansion joint

Elbow pressure balanced expansion joints or corner relief expansion joints are the types of pressure balanced expansion joints,


Rectangular Expansion Joint

Rectangula rmetal Expansion Joints are designed to absorb the axial movements in all the three directions.  The Rectangular bellows are mostly designed for very low pressure applications such as ducts, exhaust systems ventilation system etc 


Bellows Expansion Joint


Flexible bellows, is also called as expansion joints are flexible elements that absorbs movement in the pipe system.  These Movement absorb are defined by axial, lateral, angular, and universal movement

What are metallic bellows and types of Bellows?

  What are metallic bellows? The main element of the expansion joint, which consists of one or more convolutions, is called bellows .  The performance of the bellow depends upon the geometric bellows. Hence the type of raw material and its properties, its geometric features, other influencing designing factors, construction or manufacturing method, and performance testing bellows are necessary to study. What are the types of bellows? Formed Bellows These types of Expansion Joint  used in the low-pressure system they are cost-effective and can be a substitute to the system Fabricated Bellows Formed from a thin wall tube, formed bellows contains only longitudinal welds, and exhibits significant flexibility Formed Bellows  shapes are made from single or multiply plies of suitable material (usually stainless steel) ranging in thickness from .004" to .125" and greater, and in diameter of 3/4 to over 12 ft

Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint | Flexpert Bellows

  Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint is the perfect solution when the expansion joint must absorb  large  axial movement under High Pressure. Externally Pressurized Expansion Joints Absorbs large axial movements without squirm.  Eliminates main anchors.   Minimum guiding required for externally pressurized expansion joints   Heavy duty construction for bellow protection. The Externally Pressurized Expansion Joints provide very low turbulence to f the flowing medium due to the fact that the internal surface of pipeline itself works as the liner for this expansion joint. As the thermal expansion in externally pressurized expansion joints occur  the bellows element brining the internal guide rings closer reducing the gap between them and then medium can flow through this joints as if it were not there.
