Tied Universal Expansion Joint for Pipe Carrying Sulfur Dioxide
This tied universal expansion joint is designed to carry hot gas up to temperatures of 1022ºF and pressure up to 5 PSIG. It has a 66″ inside diameter and is 72″ in overall length. The design movements are 4″ lateral and 4.5″ axial compression. The bellows’ material is Inconel® 825 with carbon steel weld ends. The bellows and pipe longitudinal weld seams were 100% x-rayed prior to a 5 PSIG air test and then dye-penetrant examined after testing.
