Universal Expansion Joints

Universal Metal Bellows Expansion Joints are constructed with two metal bellows of equal length separated by a centre pipe. This expansion joint design will accept large amounts of lateral offset in multiple planes. The amount of deflection is based on the amount of angulation each bellows can take and the length of the center spool. The lateral deflection capability and cycle life of the joint can be increased or decreased based on the centre pipe length. Universal expansion joints can also be ordered with tie-rods to carry the full pressure thrust load. If the joint has tie-rods there will be no extension or compression, rather just angular and lateral movements.
