For reliability control of high pressure cryogenic systems, one or more 90 degree elbow expansion devices are substituted for the metal bellows normally used. The device consists of a conducting tube inside a support tube, with the space between the tubes evacuated for insulation.
High angular stresses in fluid-handling ducts are accommodated by a lightweight hinged bellows restraint. This device transmits angular stress to points close to the axis center and spreads it over a rigid configuration.
Universal joint-type restraint that employs ball joints permits maximum angular and lateral offset movement in a bellows joint without danger of rupture or pressure drop in the line. It is used in high pressure and high temperature applications in refineries, steam plants, or stationary power plants.
Compact-vibration damping systems, consisting of rubber-coated metal bellows with a sliding O-ring connector, are used in vacuum lines. The device presents a metallic surface to the vacuum system and combines flexibility with the necessary stiffness. It protects against physical damage, reduces fatigue failure, and provides easy mating of nonparallel lines.
Liner extends the service life of high-angulation /26-degree/ bellows used as ducts for high-velocity fluid flow in a liquid oxygen fill and drain system. It consists of a conical frustum or nozzle on the upstream side and a cylindrical section or catcher on the down-stream side.
