Merkmale

  • 100 % airtight solution to boiler penetration.
  • Permits axial and lateral movement without causing high stresses in penetration pipe and boiler wall.
  • Maintenance-free
  • Used in heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs).

Vorteile

  • Improved boiler efficiency through zero gas seepage.
  • Improved boiler efficiency through reduced heat loss.
  • No emissions
  • Noise reduction

Funktionsbeschreibung

Metal expansion joints are used in pipelines to compensate for thermal growth, typically in applications with high internal temperatures; or to prevent vibrations from being transmitted beyond the expansion joint.

Hinweis

Standard quality control and testing:
  • Air and soap bubble leak check.


Service:
  • Skilled field service teams can provide site support.
  • Expert clamshell (split bellows, for in situ repair) bellows welders.
  • Experienced supervision by our field service personnel available.
