US Bellows custom-designed pressure-balanced tee expansion joints for a chemical plant in Texas. The units were 352″ overall length, 81″ diameter, and 90″ center line to the bevel-end of the tee. All assemblies were fabricated from 304 stainless steel.
They were designed for an operating temperature of 392°F at 15 PSIG, with 6″ of axial compression and 1.25″ of lateral deflection. The expansion joints were 100% dye-penetrate tested, as well as air soap and bubble tested prior to shipment.
We can also design and manufacture refractory lined expansion joints for these types that are able to expand and contract as conditions move from hot to cold. These units can be installed in refineries, power plants, and various green energy facilities where no other option is practical.
Our team of engineers and manufacturing staff are ready and willing to assist in helping solve any design and/or manufacturing challenges. We can also refurbish existing units to help decrease the time operations are shut down. We assure you that our 24×7 web-based emergency and quick-turn-around service can help when you need it most.
