Bellows compensator, customarily also called expansion joint, or expansion joint. It is composed of bellows (an elastic element) and end pipes, support frames, flanges, hoses and other accessories that constitute the core of its operation. The bellows compensator is a component that plays a compensation function in the connection between machine equipment and machine equipment in the power or heat supply pipe network composed of metal bellows and structural parts. The bellows compensator can compensate the thermal deformation and mechanical equipment deformation formed by the pipe shaft diameter rise and contraction and the change of viewing angle caused by the temperature difference of the pipe and absorb various mechanical vibrations, and has the effect of reducing the stress of the pipe deformation and improving the service life of the pipe.
In addition, there are corner and transverse expansion joints, which can be used to compensate for corner and transverse variations of the pipeline. This type of bellows compensator is characterized by saving space, saving raw materials, is conducive to standardization and mass production, the defect is a short service life. Bellows compensator is generally used for temperature and working pressure is not very high, short length of the pipeline. With the improvement of the technical strength of bellows production and manufacturing, the application scale of bellows compensator is expanding.
The key elastic element of the bellows compensator is the stainless steel bellows. The bellows compensator relies on the bellows to lift and bend to compensate the shaft diameter, lateral and angular directions of the pipeline. The effect can have the ability to compensate for the axial, lateral, and angular thermal variations of the suction line. Absorb the vibration of the machine and equipment to reduce the influence of the vibration of the machine and equipment on the pipeline. Absorb the deformation of the pipeline caused by earthquake and ground subsidence.
