Product Description
Rectangular Metallic Expansion Joints
Rectangular metal expansion joints have a variety of applications
in the power, petrochemical, refining, chemical, and steel
industries. Since there are no standard duct sizes, and due to the
wide range of pressure and temperature combinations, each
rectangular metal expansion joint is custom-engineered to provide
the most economical design that will absorb the thermal movements
of the system in which it is installed. Like circular expansion
joints, rectangular expansion joints absorb three types of
movement: axial, lateral and angular. For the purpose of designing
rectangular bellows, it is critical to know in which direction the
lateral and angular movements will occur, i.e. parallel to the long
and/or short side of the bellows.
Unlike circular bellows where the pressure stress is a
circumferential membrane (hoop) stress, the rectangular bellows
must be designed for longitudinal (beam) bending stresses. Long
unsupported lengths must frequently be supported to prevent
excessive deflection and stresses of the bellows element. In
certain applications, covers and liners can perform the function of
pressure supports. Typical convolution geometry's and corner
construction details are shown below. The "V" convolution profile
will be supplied with single miter corners, unless otherwise
specified. Round corner bellows will always be constructed using
the "U" convolution profile.
