Metal Expansion Joint

Product Overview

Metal bellows expansion joints are used as components in piping or as parts of pressure vessels.

An expansion joint is any apparatus containing one or more metal bellows used to absorb dimensional changes such as those caused by thermal expansion or contraction of a pipeline, duct, or vessel and to absorb vibrations caused by engines, pumps, motors, etc.

In other words, a metal expansion joint is a device primarily formed by flexible bellows used to absorb movements in a piping system while containing pressure and a medium running through it.

The key element of an expansion joint is the bellows. The bellows is a flexible element consisting of one or more corrugations and the end tangents.

Here at Dewdon, we not only consider technical aspects of our product, but we also take into consideration the cost-effective aspects to ensure our customers’ satisfaction and value for their money.

Our metal expansion joints are flexible connectors installed in piping and ducting systems to regulate expansion and vibration caused by changes in temperature, pressure, and media comprise which occur regularly. As experts in this field with years of experience in design, manufacture, marketing, and installation of metal expansions, we specialize in meeting the demands of our customers, proffering solutions required for a technical and economically-based product.

We supplies customized metal expansion joints that are designed and built for a perfect fit on your piping or ductwork system. Available in numerous configurations, metal expansion joints can be used in temperatures ranging from -420° to 1,800°F (-251° to 982°C) and pressures up to 1,000 psi.
