A Metallic Expansion Joint is also known as a compensator. These components are essentially thin-walled cylindrical structures with a corrugated surface, designed to be highly flexible. They are crucial for absorbing movements in piping systems, containers, and machinery, particularly those caused by thermal expansion, vibrations, and even misalignments.
The primary function of metallic expansion joints is to absorb thermal movement, thereby reducing stress on other piping components like valves and pumps, and maintaining system integrity by preventing bending, cracking, or rupturing. They also help in reducing noise and alleviating anchor tension. These joints are widely used across various industries, including power generation, chemical processing, oil and gas, water treatment, and HVAC systems, especially where high temperatures, pressures, or vibrations are present. Expansion Bellows manufactured and supplied by Swan enterprise, are known for its durability, good quality and also for its reasonable price. Generally , there are two types of Expansion Bellows . They are-1. Metallic Bellows and 2. Non-Metallic Bellows .
