Steel compensators to absorb axial, lateral and angular movements
Belman has a standard expansion joint programme from DN40 up to DN6,000 (DN12,000 in certain segments), with a gauge pressure capacity up to 150barG. These flexible connections can absorb axial, lateral and angular movements. Depending on the type of compensator chosen, these movements can be absorbed in combination.
Standard solutions include:
- Gimbal expansion joints
- Hinged expansion joints
- Angular expansion joints
- Lateral expansion joints
- Exhaust compensators
The company also provides a wide range of tailored solutions for specific customer requirements.
Customised expansion joint solutions
Customised solutions are one of Belman’s core strengths and this has resulted in the company being the preferred provider of expansion joint solutions, including:
- Pressure-balanced expansion joints
- Crossover bellows
- Corner relief expansion joints
- Rectangular compensators
- High-pressure pump connectors
- Externally pressurised expansion joints
- FCCU expansion joints
- Rectangular expansion joints (both 45° and 90° mitred corners, camera and radius corners)
- Bellows with tantal or PTFE-lining
Belman supplies steel expansion joints that are calculated and designed according to several different design codes, including EN 13445, EN 13480, EN 14917, ASME VII, Div. I, ASME B31.3, ASME B31.1 and AD 2000 or EJMA.
