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.
