Here&#;s the perfect way to absorb pipe motion in small diameter systems. Series H2 High pressure types permit 2&#; pipe motion &#; 1 3/4&#; compression and 1/4&#; extension. Series H3 High pressure types permit 3&#; pipe motion 2 3/4&#; compression and 1/4&#; extension. Senior Flexonics Canada expansion compensators provide the lowest cost method to take up thermal growth.

Senior Flexonics Canada compensators are externally pressurized as opposed to the standard internally pressurized models. The external pressurization principle eliminates the possibility of the bellows buckling, which is one of the major causes of compensator failure.

Steel expansion joints

Steel expansion joints &#; general information

Steel compensators are composed of one or several multilayer, corrugated steel bellows and appropriate connections such as flanged, weld-in or other connections. To form the bellow, a couple of adjacent sheet metal layers is shaped into corrugations. A single stainless steel sheet metal piece is e.g. from 0,2 to 0,5 mm thick. This multilayer design of the bellow ensures much higher flexibility than the single layer design with the same overall thickness and height of corrugations &#; as, for instance, in the case of corrugated steel hoses. Therefore, the corrugated steel hose cannot substitute the compensator &#; it cannot accommodate comparable deformation with the same flexibility.

The steel compensators are available with an internal steel sleeve to guide the fluid flow. The bellows and internal sleeves are made of the following types of steel: 1. (AISI 321), 1. (AISI316Ti) and other. Flanges and connecting parts are made of carbon steel, stainless steel, acid-resistant steel and other materials. Working temperature range: from -270°C to 600°C. Working pressure: from full vacuum up to several tens of bar. Nominal diameter range: from DN40 to DN.

SaniComp compensators are far more effective in absorbing displacement than U-shaped pipelines used in some cases. They are essentially designed for sanitary installations, where hygiene plays an important role. SaniComp compensators are certified by EHEDG &#; European Hygienic Engineering Group (SaniComp compensators can be applied in utility installations all across Europe). Working temperature up to 200°C (80°C as standard).

Chamber expansion joints is comprised of two bellows in one inside the other configuration: inner bellow &#; of smaller diameter and outer bellow &#; of bigger diameter. A chamber formed between them allows for circulation of the heating agent of higher temperature (e.g. oil, water, steam), which heats up the inner bellow conveying the proper medium.
