Features
- Transportation or piping systems that carry fluids, slurries or gasses under pressure or vacuum at varying temperatures
- Reduction of vibration
- Dampen sound transmission
- Compensate movements due thermal changes, misalignments caused by wear, load stresses, settling of supporting foundations
- Molding production with long radius arch
- Standard measures (length)
Advantages
- Easy installation, flanges can be rotated
- For installation with “torsional misalignments”
- Flanges are not in contact with medium, which enables lower grade material
- Galvanic surfaces/ coatings possible
- Gaskets can be eliminated
- Additional movement capabilities
- Self cleaning arch (no need filler material)
- Economic
Materials
- Bellows: Various elastomers such as EPDM, EPDM Food Grade, Neoprene, Nitrile, Hypalon, Viton
- Flanges: carbon steel and stainless steel
-
Other materials are available on request.
Standards and approvals
NDT and documentation: Can be provided per customer request e.g. Material Certificates and NDT test reports.
Recommended applications
