DFS Type
expansion joints

Features

  • Transportation or piping systems that carry fluids, slurries or gasses under pressure or vacuum at varying temperatures
  • Reduction of vibration
  • Dampen sound transmission
  • Compensate movements due thermal changes, misalignments caused by wear, load stresses, settling of supporting foundations
  • Molding and manual production.
  • Standard measures (length)

Advantages

  • Easy installation
  • Flanges are not in contact with medium, which enables lower grade material
  • Galvanic surfaces / coatings possible
  • Gaskets can be eliminated
  • Additional movement capabilities
  • Special measures (length, diameter, flanges) → custom made
  • Different models (hose, reduction, multiple arches, filled arch, spool, …)
  • Higher design pressure
  • Special designs (spring rates, different inner and outer layers)

Operating range

Diameter: DN 25 ... DN 3000 (1" ... 120")
Pressure as per request
Temperature up to 180 °C (356 °F)
Movements: all directions

Materials

  • Bellows: Various elastomers such as EPDM, EPDM Food Grade, Neoprene, Nitrile, Hypalon, Butyl, Viton
  • Flanges: carbon steel and stainless steel.

  • Other materials are available on request.

Standards and approvals

NDT and documentation: Can be provided per customer request e.g. Material Certificates and NDT test reports.
