Lateral Expansion Bellows

About Lateral Expansion Bellows

1.      Flexible Bellows for Thermal Expansion in Pipelines Pipelines installed at ambient temperature undergo thermal expansion due to change in operating temperature. This change can either be expansion or compression in the line, both refers to Thermal Expansion. This can create enormous force and stress in system and hence such piping system require flexible bellows. A properly designed and installed flexible bellow compensates such thermal expansions resulting long life of both pipeline and connected parts.   Sometimes inherent flexibility of material may not be sufficient and hence additional flexibility can be provided by adding flexible bellow element in the loop. Sometimes these elements are installed with suggestive guide anchors, sliders and restraint for maintaining stability.   In accordance with provided system parameters by our customers, we consult and supply the type of bellow best suitable to the pipeline. Our flexible bellows are available with suggestive pipe guide, sliders and restraints.
