Function of Stainless Steel Bellows Expansion Joint

Expansion joints are pivotal in modern pipe and fitting systems to absorb vibration and shock. Expansion joints are made from rubber, metal, or braided. The stainless steel expansion joints are mostly used in modern pipe technology. The metal expansion joints are used in case of thermal expansion. One can get a wide range of options in metallic bellows like nickel alloys and stainless steel.


Stainless steel expansion joints offer a perfect solution to absorbing expansion when change in temperature occurs in the piping system. Stainless steel bellows come in a variety of designs and sizes.

In fact, selecting the correct material for the metallic bellow is crucial. If you go for non-ferrous metals, they can be helpful in actuation application but won’t help much when it comes to handling aggressive chemicals in the food and beverage industry. For those dealing in vacuums, pumps go for the stainless-steel bellows.

The main feature of the stainless steel expansion joint is the flexibility of its bellow. In fact, the bellow gets its geometrical shape and the number of convolutions from this flexibility.

Stainless steel bellows expansion joints are easy to maintain. Also, these bellows can reduce whatever stress in the connection in the piping system.

Below are some of the functions of stainless steel bellows expansion joints: 

  • Reducing piping noise

Stainless steel bellows expansion joint is highly flexible and therefore, has absorption qualities, which reduces the vibration and piping noise.

  • Easy installation

Installation is a tricky task in the piping and fitting system especially if there is limited space. Also, a lot depends on the weather conditions and the pipeline diameter. Given the fact that the stainless steel bellows expansion joint is able to bend without any hassle, it is extremely easy to install. Therefore, stainless steel bellows expansion joints are pivotal in the piping and fitting system.

  • Resistant to temperature

Stainless steel bellows expansion joints are resistant to high temperature. At a time when metal bellows are better at corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and pressure resistance, stainless steel bellows expansion joints are the best material to compensate for piping movements.

In the end, stainless steel bellows can solve a lot of problems in the piping system. From pressure pulsation, vibration, equipment movement to thermal growth, stainless steel bellows to resolve these issues. The team of professionals at Dutco Tennant LLC develops the best and most advanced stainless steel bellows expansion joints in the entire UAE. For any piping system issues, you can reach out to them.

Types of Valves Used In Plumbing Systems

  A wide range of valves is used by plumbing systems for connecting pipes and controlling the water flow. For regulating the temperature and flow in plumbing and piping fixtures, water valves are extremely important. The valves can be made of a wide range of materials like plastic, brass, bronze, stainless steel, galvanized pipe, and cast iron. In this blog, we will be talking about the various types of plumbing valves which you can find commonly in your house. Gate Valves Plumbing Gate Valves ar e undoubtedly the most famous and widely used valves in any plumbing system. These valves come with an internal gate that is lowered or raised for controlling the flow of water to the other side. These valves are having a knob on the top that is used for controlling the movement of the gate. The gate valves can get damaged easily if the gates are not entirely closed or opened as the flow of water can wear out the metal parts. Butterfly Valve Plumbing Ball Valves a re used for all...
