Design Guide, Overview 0000004103 00000 n Stock bellows are usually rated at 30% to 50% of the maximum deflection in compression. Most standard bellows seals are typically balanced to approximately a 70/30 ratio. Expansion joint movement capacity is listed in this website as the non-concurrent capacity for each type of movement. *Eng-Tips's functionality depends on members receiving e-mail. The names of these stiffnesses, the type of movement to be absorbed, and USCS units are as follows: Please let us know here why this post is inappropriate. This tolerance is specified at 10% and normally purchased at 5%. Limit rods are similar, however they accommodate a specified axial capability. The definitions in this design guide are related to columns 1 through 13 of the Stock Bellows Data List. QO.N 0000092436 00000 n Bellows Assemblies When pressure is increased, the bellows will lose stability and eventually enter into the form of a U bend. 0000097856 00000 n High cycle life designs may be desirable for service applications that include frequent start up/shut down cycles. Thin plates provide lower spring rates, which result in lower face loads, less unit loading, less heat generation and longer seal life. This is because the so-called bending flexibility is calculated by applying a moment (Mr) to the free end of an expansion joint and observing its end rotation (). j> +z2:%?YA~'P\X|,Lc.M(6AV70@k$"X) 0) h`K YI ;:KU^x r^^Rcz?(|g. EJMA was founded in 1955 to establish and maintain quality design and manufacturing standards. External covers are mounted at one end of the expansion joint, providing a protective shield that spans the length of the bellows. 0000043679 00000 n 111 0 obj<>stream Meena Rezkallah. ?S~O~&e!u0}-;[XjsM2:N#H&@9hS{Du2tY?

By joining you are opting in to receive e-mail. Intermediate anchors can isolate multiple expansion joints that are installed in series to accommodate large motions beyond the capability of a single expansion joint. 0000003945 00000 n The bending stiffness that should be used is exactly four times the bending flexibility. This separation is required to insure that each expansion joint is able to function as intended and not be affected by the flexibility characteristics of adjoining units. The minimum free length or maximum compressed length of convolutions is equal to the convolution free length (Column 7) minus the maximum deflection in compression (Column 8).

Flow liners are installed in the inlet bore of the expansion joint to protect the bellows from erosion damage due to an abrasive media or resonant vibration due to turbulent flow or velocities which exceed: Expansion joints that are installed within ten pipe diameters downstream of elbows, tees, valves or cyclonic devices should be considered to be subject to flow turbulence. At higher temperatures the bellows spring rate decreases in proportion to the elasticity module of the bellows material. BELLOWS SPRING RATES An important characteristic of a bellows is its spring rate under axial, angular or lateral deformation. The axial spring rate of a metal bellows in accordance with: c 0000000016 00000 n Some insulating materials, if wet, can leach chlorides or other substances that could damage a bellows. This results in plate rigidity, which adds reliability and reduces fatigue. Figure 1: High-temperature welded metal bellows assembly with flexible graphite secondary seals. Depending on application, the actual squirm pressure may be considered the maximum internal proof pressure (see Maximum Operating Pressure below). The convolution free length can be modified for certain applications.

Less heat improves face stability and narrow faces are less susceptible to coking than wider faces. Careers, Metal Bellows 0000002282 00000 n More Not all bellows in the industry are fitted with vibration dampeners, which help prevent any potential damage from harmonic vibration caused by episodes of dry-running. 0000125561 00000 n 0000010578 00000 n The Spring rate of the entire FSE is K FSE = K AS /2 When only one FSE is present then the spring rate is given by K FSE above. Acts as a spring to keep the primary sealing faces together, Transmits torque from the set screw collar in the seals rotating face, High strength with the ability to withstand high pressures, Precise design and performance characteristics, Low spring rate (the amount of force required to compress the bellows a given distance), Allow for optimal plate shape designnesting ripple, It is important that state-of-the-art manufacturing processes are used to create the bellows to ensure weld integrity by preventing excessive root gap with bead geometry, bead thickness and roll-over control (Figure 3).
