Issues regarding the location of π-type compensators and bellows compensators
Thread Content
As the title suggests, why should the π-type be placed in the middle of the two fixed frames, while the bellows should be placed near one of the fixed ends?
If a π-type compensator is placed at the end, the friction generated during pipe expansion becomes asymmetric, resulting in uneven stress on the mounting brackets. There are safety hazards.
Due to the large thrust generated by bellows compensators, they are more stable and less prone to deformation when located closer to the fixing frame.
The second answer makes no sense at all.
It won’t happen; your concerns are unnecessary
Near the fixed bracket, it is the arrangement with the greatest thrust; to reduce the thrust, it should be placed in the middle.
The π type can be placed anywhere in the middle of the two fixtures without any problem. The bellows does not need to be close to a fixed end; such an arrangement results in the greatest thrust on the fixing bracket. The arrangement that yields the least thrust is to place it right in the middle. Regarding instability, as long as the guiding arrangements on both sides are proper, there is no problem ； The layout is unreasonable; it will become unstable even when placed on a fixed edge.
