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
