What is an expansion joint?
An Expansion Joint is used in the piping system to absorb thermal expansion or terminal movement, where the use of an expansion loop is impractical. Expansion joints are in different shapes and materials. Expansion joints are rubber, metallic, Teflon joints
Where are Bellows used?
Bellows are located between the section of bridges, paving slabs, railway tracks, and piping system. The Expansion joints are incorporated to endure the stress
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?
- Apply Lubricant
- Insert expansion joints into position
- Insert Bolts
- Control Rods
