Bellows: The Backbone of Flexible Industrial Systems

Image
 A Complete Guide by Flexatherm Rigidity can be a major constraint in the field of industrial pipework and ducting. In power plants, refineries, chemical units, cement plants, steel mills, and HVAC systems, heat, pressure, vibration, and movement are inevitable realities. Bellows are useful in this situation. Bellows are the silent guardians of pipelines and equipment, frequently hidden from view yet vital to operation. Bellows are engineered solutions at Flexatherm that are intended to absorb movement, lessen stress, and prolong system life. Let's examine bellows in detail, including their varieties, functions, applications, and why selecting the appropriate bellows is crucial. What Are Bellows? Bellows are flexible mechanical components used in piping and ducting systems to absorb pressure variations, vibration, misalignment, and thermal expansion. Usually, they are made with a corrugated structure that permits regulated flexibility without sacrificing strength or pressure re...
