Bellows Pump Connectors
All bellows differ from stainless steel hose in the corrugation configurations. Bellows are deeper and wider and they are made from a heavier material to handle the pressure without the braid. A very common location of our 2 ply bellows is at the pumps.
The face to face dimension is equal to the length of most Single Sphere Rubber Molded Expansion Joints. This product should be used when a combination of short length with greater movement capabilities along with the other benefits of stainless steel (high temperature and pressure) are required.
If the equipment is solidly mounted and there is an an anchor somewhere in the line on the side of the bellows, they will accept 25mm of compression and 9mm of elongation. Transverse movement varies between 3mm and 9mm, depending on diameter.
In no anchors are provided the joint will always remain in the full open position against the rubber isolated control rods and only serve to reduce transverse misalignment.

Vee Assemblies
Many buildings are separated by expansion joints through the walls and floors. During an earthquake the two adjacent parts resonate with relatve motion of as much as +/- 100mm in shear as well as toward and away from one another.
Expansion Compensators & Housed Expansion Joints
Expansion Compensators and Housed Expansion Joints are fundamentally a bellows that is protected by and guided within a pipe housing. They are also designed to give improved stability.
Expansion Joints
Many expansion joints are custom manufactured to diameters as large as 8 feet (2.4m). We can build to your specific product description or complete our own recommendations based on your movement and pressure requirements.
Stainless Steel Flexible Pipe Connectors
Stainless steel connectors are used where movement is required between two pipes or pieces of equipment. They are mainly required when pipes have to bridge building expansion joints or to allow for movement of mechanical equipment.
