Steel Exhaust Bellows also know as exhaust expansion joints, they are specialised components used in piping systems to accommodate multiple types of movement, including axial, lateral, and angular displacement. They absorb and compensate for larger movement patterns while maintaining the system’s structural integrity.
Exhaust bellows feature multiple convolutions made from thin-walled stainless steel tubing. These convolutions provide flexibility in various directions, allowing the bellows to simultaneously accommodate axial, lateral, and angular movement.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, chosen for excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and temperature resistance. The specific grade of stainless steel is selected based on factors such as the operating environment, temperature range, and compatibility with the conveyed fluid.
Several factors of the design of stainless steel bellows to ensure optimal performance and reliability:
Stainless steel bellows find applications in various industries and systems where complex movement compensation is required, including:
In summary, stainless steel exhaust bellows are critical in accommodating complex movement patterns in piping systems. They provide flexibility, reliability, and longevity in diverse industrial applications.
