Axial Compression	25 mm (1”)
Axial Extension	3 mm (1/8”)
Lateral Movement	12 mm (1/2”)

Maximum Temperature Rating

EPDM	121 °C (250 °F) continuous 194 °C (350 °F) intermittent (max. 36 hours whole life)
Neoprene	107 °C (225 °F) continuous 152 °C (275 °F) intermittent (max. 36 hours whole life)

Inner Liner

The internal liner secures a smooth flow, protects bellows from flow induced vibrations, hold friction to a minimum and protect bellows from erosion.

Connecting Ends

In carbon steel material as standard, they can be supplied with landing bars or weld ends for welding to customer’s ducting or with flanges drilled to match customer’s equipment.

Clamps

The rubber belt expansion joint equipped on both sides with self-sealing rubber knobs, affixed to the connecting metal parts using specially designed machined clamps that ensure tightness. The machined clamps and the bolting ensure leak tightness during operation. The clamps on either end are welded to a flange if the expansion joint is to be bolted to the condenser and the turbine. The clamps are welded to filler piece of a weld end if the expansion joint is to be welded to the turbine or the condenser.
