Expansion Joint Pattern
Expansion Joints are widely used to allow movement in piping systems while containing pressure and medium running through it. Differential settlement, thermal growth, vibration or pressure pulsation can cause movement in piping system. When flexibility for this movement can not be designed into the piping system itself, expansions joints are the ideal solutions.
Type of movement
Axial Movement
Angular Movement
Lateral Movement
Torsional movement
Design of Expansion Joint
Requirements for the design the followings are requirements for the design of the expansion joint. these requirements shall be fulfilled through your inquiry.
Expansion Joint Fabrication Procedure
1.Cutting of the thin bellows layers
2.Rolling on roller bending machine
3.Welding of the outer and inner layer Radiography & Liquid Penetrant test
4.Polishing
5.Preparation of the and welded inner and outer layer
6.Multply bellows
7.Roll forming by wheel or hydraulic powered forming
8.Edge cutting
