ITFT Expansion Bellows

 

Applications :

 

The field of application for expansion joints span a vast range. No important engineering oriented branch of industry can be excluded, because today's technology is largely a technology of thermally stresses containers and of piping and conveying systems.

 

Metallic Bellows are used for the connection of all these plant components.

 

For high pressures , however, particularly with large nominal diameters, the expansion joint in its various forms and special designs is the only adequate flexible element which will meet all requirements. Each one of the various available designs has its own advantages and corresponding field of application.

 

ITFT's  manufacturing programme compromises of expansion joints for all necessary diameters, pressures, temperatures and media to absorb disortation and vibration and accommodate various types of movements like:

 

Ø       Axial Movement

Ø       Lateral Movement

Ø       Angular Movement

Ø       Corresponding Combined Movement

 

A common characteristic of all ITFT Expansion Joints is the use of an all metal, corrugated tubular body as the flexible element.

 

Provided that they are correctly chosen and expertly fitted, ITFT Expansion Joints are pressure resistant , vacuum tight, temperature resistant, corrosion proof, maintenance free, durable reliable in service , and economical. They manufacture single wall, mutual and heavy wall metal bellows in all suitable materials . NB from 25 mm to 5000 mm . each one of the  various bellow designs , has its own specific advantages and field of applications.

 

Expansion Joints
