DME
custom designs bellows capsules according to the Expansion Joint Manufacturer's
This type of joint is generally designed to absorb large amounts
of lateral deflection and possibly a small amount of axial compression.
The ability to absorb motion in multiple planes makes it an ideal
expansion joint for systems where the main anchors are not practical.
Other applications include tank settlement and seismic building separations.

DME
will design to suit the customer's individual requirements.
The tie rods must have the proper tensile strength to withstand
the pressure thrust. All options are available such as materials,
fitting types, flow liners and covers.

TIED UNIVERSAL
FLANGED WITH SUPPORT |
Some applications require
the center pipe to be supported due to the weight of the pipe or
weight of the media. Proper clearance is given between the
tie rods and supports to allow for lateral deflection. |

|
| TIED
UNIVERSAL WITH WELD END |
Weld ends can be furnished
in any available material or pipe schedule. |
|
 |
Appropriate for systems that
do not require pressure thrust restraint. Air handling, blower and
exhaust systems are typical applications.
|
|
 |
Universal expansion joints
can be built with victaulic groove nipples to clamp into a victaulic
pipe system. All available materials can be furnished. |
|
 |
| UNIVERSAL FLANGED INTEGRAL
CENTER SPOOL |
This is an economical expansion
joint for low-pressure applications that require lateral movement
beyond that of a single bellows. This style eliminates two
welds thus a true cost saving. |
|
 |
| UNIVERSAL WITH R.F.
FLANGE |
ANSI B16.5 forged flanges can
be supplied in all available alloys and pressure classes. The raised
face can be removed to provide a flat face with any desired finish.

|
| DUAL
BELLOWS WITH ANCHOR BASE |
Although similar to a universal
joint, dual bellows expansion joints do not have lateral motion
capabilities. They are placed in the center of a long piping run
to absorb large amounts of axial movement. An anchor base must be
used to make joint function properly. |
