The main advantages of flexican Metal Expansion Joints are:
 |
Light weight. |
|
Stability in Connection. |
|
Non combustible. |
|
High Cycle Life. |
|
Ends can be welded. |
|
Suitable for High and Very High Pressure & Temperature. |
|
Wear and Rupture Resistant. |
|
Fully Liquid and Gas tight. |
|
Easy to Clean. |
|
Metal Bellows require less space than Pipe Bends and Expansion Loops. |
|
Their inherent flexibility enables them to absorb movements in more than one direction. |
|
In most pipe sizes, Expansion joints are more economical than other devices, so their use results in Low initial cost for piping and construction work. |
|
Operating costs are also reduced, since maintenance is eliminated and heat and friction losses are minimized. |
|
Can be designed for Liquid or Gaseous media. |
|
Can withstand large Temperature extremes, Including Cryogenic. |
|
High Pressure Capability. |
|
Multi-ply testable capability. |
|
Cost efficient for small piping systems when Movement is nominal. |
|
No maintenance. |
