Description

A universal expansion joint is made of two single bellows separated by a central pipe and with flanges. 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. Any possible expansion of the intermediate pipe is  also absorbed by the two bellows.

Characteristics and Properties

  • Applicable for low pressures.
  • Absorbs large lateral and axial movements.
  • Allows angular movements.
  • Does not retain the force of the pressure.
  • Must be properly anchored and guided.

Does not resist the force of the pressure, and must be supported by fixed anchoring that is properly designed.
