Why expansion joints are used?

Expansion joints are used to absorb the thermal expansion. They also can be used to absorb contraction in the cryogenic line and reduce the vibration in the piping system. They are nessccary in the system to convey high-temperature substances such as steam or exhaust gases or to absorb movement and vibration.

How do you install expansion bellows in a pipe system?

1.          Apply Lubricant
2.         Insert expansion joints into position
3.          Insert Bolts
4.          Control Rods
