Although the
trend in recent years has been towards non-metallic joints,
METALLIC JOINTS still fulfill needs which are beyond
the capabilities of non-metallic joints. Typical design
benefits for METALLIC JOINTS include:
HIGH
PRESSURE CAPABILITY
HIGH TEMPERATURE CAPABILITY
METALLIC JOINTS
derive their flexibility from the number and height of the
convolutions which comprise the bellow. The corrugated
nature of the bellow gives it spring-like flexibility.
The bellow
section is generally made of stainless steel; however, other
materials can be utilized depending on the design
conditions. The bellows material is properly selected for
adequate corrosion resistance and reliable performance at
elevated temperatures |
