Working principle of metal compensator

The metal compensator is used as the flexible element of the pipe connection. The compensator absorbs the thermal expansion generated by the pipe system through the expansion movement of the core element bellows.

As a flexible component of pipeline connection, the metal compensator needs to withstand the pressure of the equipment or pipeline system in the application process, meet the strength requirements, but also need to meet the vibration and flexibility requirements of the equipment or pipe system. To understand how a metal compensator works, you need to know the composition.

It is composed of stainless steel corrugated pipe, nozzle, guide tube, pull rod and other structural parts. The thermal expansion generated by the pipe system is absorbed through the expansion movement of the core element bellows. When the pipeline or equipment is running, the vibration is generated as a flexible component, which is similar to the spring, which plays a cushioning role at the same time, reducing the noise caused by vibration. After installation, it can reduce the force of the pipeline on the import and export of the equipment and protect the equipment. The installation on the pipe can reduce the stress of the flange connection bolt and improve the sealing performance.

Understanding its role in order to know what specific circumstances will be used, corrugated compensator as a pipeline accessories, although not the main but less corrugated compensator, the system is prone to safety problems.

Selection needs to be combined with working pressure, use temperature, flow medium, compensation amount, vibration combined with the use of the environment.
