Stainless steel flexible bellows

1. Henan Liwei Industry Co., Ltd

1. Since 1988, Top 3 manufacturer of bellows in China;

2. The Main Drafting Committee of National Standard for bellows; 

3. Qualified Supplier for Nuclear Power Plant;

4. ISO9001:2008 and ISO14001:2004 Certified.

2. SS bellows is compensating element for thermal expansion and relative movement in pipelines, containers and machines. They consist of one or more metal bellows, connectors at both ends, and tie rods that depend on the application. They are differentiated according to the three basic types of movement: axial, angular and lateral bellows. 

SS bellows is the elastic vessel that can be compressed when pressure is applied to the outside of the vessel, or extended under vacuum. When the pressure or vacuum is released, the bellows will return to its original shape (provided the material has not been stressed past its yield strength).

3. Features of bellows

• Economical end usage
• Providing for lower initial costs in piping & construction work

4. Applications of bellows

• Diesel engine sets
• Pipelines
• Turbines
• Compressors
• Blowers
• Vacuum pumps
• Heat exchangers 

5. Advantages of bellows

• Reduce vibration
• Dampen sound transmission
• Compensate lateral, torsional & angular movements
• Compensate axial movements
• Minimal face-to-face dimensions
• Lightweight
• Low movement forces required
• Reduced fatigue factor
• Reduced heat loss
• Corrosion, erosion resistant
• No gaskets
