Stainless steel expansion bellows are critical components in piping systems, designed to absorb movement and vibration while containing pressure. They are essentially flexible "springs" made from thin-walled metal.
Key Functions
- Thermal Expansion: They compensate for the expansion or contraction of pipes caused by temperature changes.
- Vibration Dampening: They reduce the transmission of noise and mechanical vibration from pumps or engines.
- Misalignment Correction: They help join sections of pipe that aren't perfectly aligned.
