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.
