All of our expansion joints and expansion bellows are designed, manufactured and tested in accordance to the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association, to ensure that they meet the highest regulations. An expansion bellow is used to prevent general movement not absorbed by the hose. This can be caused by thermal growth, equipment movement, vibration or pressure pulsation. They have many advantages, including reducing load and temperature loss, and the absorbance of axial, lateral and angular movements.

Expansion Bellow Manufacturing

We can design an expansion bellow to your specifications and most commonly work with stainless steel 304, 321, 316, monel and inconel, but can also produce to any other special metal requirement. We also now supply COMFLEX deep form expansion bellows, which offer greater flexibility than a conventional bellow – in smaller spaces.

Every expansion bellow goes through rigorous testing and controls at each stage of the manufacturing process and before they leave the factory to meet Arcflex product standards. We have a comprehensive testing facility at our site in Stone which offers non destructive testing on all metal hoses and expansion bellows, to test components without permanently damaging them.

An expansion bellow can be an incredibly important of your hose system, providing extra durability when the functionality requires the absorption of thermal growth, equipment movement and vibrations. We supply bellow elements, ducting bellows, single bellows, universal bellows and many more.
