Metal pipe expansion joint BM-UN-TI

roundflangeaxial

A universal expansion joint is made of two single bellows separated by a central pipe and flanges with tie-rods. The main objective of this type of construction is to achieve a high capacity for absorption of axial and lateral movements. This capacity is a function of the design of the bellows and the length of the intermediate section. A longer length means greater capacity for absorption. Possible expansion of the intermediate reel is also absorbed by the two bellows. The installation of control rods designed to support the force of the pressure, and attached using projections on the pipes or flanges, can eliminate the need for fixed anchoring. Characteristics and Properties Applicable for low pressures. Absorbs large lateral movements. Eliminates the need for fixed anchoring. The pipe system must be guided. By installing the control rods, the capacity to absorb axial movements is lost.
