Liquid Natural Gas – It is light hydrocarbon gasses that are compressed into a liquid state for cheaper and more efficient transportation.

Read MoreThe clamps are distinguished by their load rating. In some cases, gas service loads could be less than loads in liquid service for the same pipe size. This would allow you to use a light duty clamp.
Are light duty clamps for gas service and heavy duty for liquid service?
The clamps are distinguished by their load rating. In some cases, gas service loads could be less than loads in liquid service for the same pipe size. This would allow you to use a light duty clamp.

Read MoreDuct work assemblies can include fabricated elbows, tees, straight sections of duct work, fabric or metallic expansion joints and can be rectangular or round.

Ducts are a series of sectioned tubes, which transfer either heated or cooled air from the furnace or air conditioner, throughout the building.

We use CAESAR II software to conduct pipe stress analysis on duct systems.

How do you analyze duct work?
We use CAESAR II software to conduct pipe stress analysis on duct systems.

Bellows squirm because they have surpassed the critical design pressure limit. This can occur in small diameter bellows with a large number of convolutions.

Why do bellows squirm under pressure?
By using an in-line pressure balanced expansion joint.

For a higher pressure system, how do you absorb pipe axial displacement without pressure thrust going to equipment with use of the expansion joint?
By using an in-line pressure balanced expansion joint.

Axial deflection refers to the movement of the expansion joint in regards to changes in the dimensional length of the bellows parallel to the centerline of the expansion joint.

Hinged expansion joints take angular rotation in only one place. Gimbal expansion joints take angular rotation in two planes.


Do hinged and gimbal expansion joints serve the same purpose?
Hinged expansion joints take angular rotation in only one place. Gimbal expansion joints take angular rotation in two planes.


We do not put slots on our expansion joints, but we leave a minimum gap between the nuts and the lug depending on the lateral movement.

On a lateral tied expansion joint, is there space allowed in between the nut and the retainer to functionally avoid tilt of the tie-rod when at the operating temperature?
We do not put slots on our expansion joints, but we leave a minimum gap between the nuts and the lug depending on the lateral movement.
