Metal expansion joints<\/strong> are flexible fittings that are mounted in pipes to absorb movements caused by thermal expansion and\/or mechanical vibration.<\/p>\n

Thermal expansion generates movements in different directions in a piping system, which led to the development of different joints to absorb these movements or some combination of them.<\/p>\n

The flexible element of the joints is the bellows, which is normally manufactured in austenitic stainless steels AISI 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 316Ti, 321, 347; or in special alloys such as Inconel\u00ae, Incoloy\u00ae, Monel\u00ae or Hastelloy\u00ae.<\/p>\n
