The bellows are twin-open arch EPDM rubber and have a set of galvanized carbon steel retaining rings. The units are 10″ face-to-face and 9″ in diameter. They are designed for an operating temperature of 250°F at 225 psig with 3.5″ of axial compression, 1.5″ of lateral deflection, and 4° of angular rotation. The units were hydro tested at 1.5 times their design pressure prior to shipment.
