An Corrugated bellows 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.Stainless Steel bellows expansion joints are used as components in piping or as parts of pressure vessels.In other words, a steel 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.
Bellows materials of construction can be stainless steel, carbon steel, nickel alloys, rubber or even a composite material.
Stainless Steel Metal Expansion Joints are a bellows-type device used for:
Absorb thermal expansion and contraction of pipelines.
Reduce forces and moments on equipment connections.
Isolate vibration from connected systems.
Compensate misalignment. Compensate foundation settlement.
The SS Corrugated Bellows for Engine manufactured by GLL factory is made of high-quality stainless steel 304. This material boasts not only superb corrosion and high-temperature resistance but also guarantees sustained, stable operation of the bellows across various severe environments. Not only assures dimensional precision and superior surface finish of the bellows but also significantly boosts its overall dependability and longevity. Furthermore, our in-house technical and mold departments are capable of offering tailored solutions tailored to the unique requirements of our customers, thereby catering to the diverse demands of the market.
Our SS Corrugated Bellows for Engine are widely used in exhaust systems of various engines. They are usually installed between the turbocharger and the exhaust manifold, or as part of the wastegate pipe to compensate for the expansion of the pipe caused by the flow of high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The design of this bellows makes the engine exhaust system more flexible and efficient, while also reducing cracks and leaks caused by stress concentration in the pipe.
Stainless steel bellows are key components and are widely used in the exhaust, shock absorption and compensation systems of engines. Their main applications include:
Exhaust system connectors: used for expansion joint connections in engine exhaust systems to reduce stress caused by vibration and thermal expansion and improve system reliability.
Vibration and noise suppression: The elastic properties of the bellows can effectively absorb vibration and noise, improve driving comfort and equipment stability.
Thermal expansion compensation: adapt to the thermal expansion and displacement changes generated during the operation of the engine to prevent damage caused by hard connections.
