The elastic metal bellowed parts absorbing the heat induced expansion or contraction of pipelines conveying hot or cold fluids or subject to drastic changes in ambient temperatures are called expansion joints. If no measures [Devamını oku…]
Production Of Expansion Joints
Rectangular sheets of stainless steel are rolled along the long edge of the rectangular sheet in a tube and the tube is welded. The tube is then worked up into bellows using mechanic and hydraulic forming methods. Bellow units of expansion joins [Devamını oku…]
Expansion Joint Accesories
The most important component of an expansion joint assembly is the bellows. Additional components may also be incorporated in the design in order to compose more complex expansion joint assemblies fi t for the purpose. [Devamını oku…]
Guiding And Fixed Points
Are points which seperateand isolate expansion sections constituted on the pipe system. In simple words, they are junction points which carry the emerging loads on the pipe section. It can be made in various forms but location is very important related to the operation of the expansion [Devamını oku…]
Mounting & Pretension For Expansion Joints
The expansion joints always must be mounted with pre-tension. The amount of pre-tension must be calculated considering the mounting temperature and a distance must remain in order to leave mounting space by adding the free [Devamını oku…]
