Compensators are consumable items, but how can their service life be extended? 　　As is well known, compensators are primarily compensation components that utilize the elastic elements of bellows-type compensators to undergo effective expansion and contraction, thereby absorbing dimensional changes in conduits, pipelines, and similar structures. Compensators can be primarily used in piping systems to absorb vibrations and reduce noise due to mechanical displacement and thermal expansion; they are capable of absorbing displacements in all directions. Here is a brief explanation: for compensators used with inner sleeves, we need to ensure that the direction of the inner sleeve matches the direction of fluid flow. Additionally, for hinge-type compensators, it is important that the plane in which the hinge rotates is the same as the plane in which it moves. (Note: We must guarantee these conditions.) Moreover, we should avoid using damaged or deformed compensators to adjust the pipeline installation, as this will affect the normal service life of the compensator and also increase the load on the pipeline.
