2.0 Manufacturing methods
The basic method of bellows manufacture is not complicated,

and every bellows manufacturer forms his bellows
convolutions in one of two ways: either by mechanical
forming, or by hydraulic forming. The principle is the same
for both. First of all a sheet of suitable material (usually
stainless steel) is selected, cut, rolled to the correct size and
welded longitudinally.
The quality of this weld prior to convolution forming is of

paramount importance to bellows life. Recognising this, we
have developed our own automatic welding machines which
are an engineering achievement in their own right.
These machines produce a weld which is as strong as the

parent metal, but does not thicken the material. Absence of
either factor could seriously affect bellows life.
The next stage is to form convolutions. This can be done

either by roll-forming the convolutions between external
and internal wheels, or by forcing the tube radially under
hydraulic pressure into required convolution profile.
Bellows with reinforcing rings

These can have reinforcing rings fitted into the convolution
roots to improve pressure resistance and movement
requirements. An example is shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. Bellows convolutions with reinforcing rings
Multi-ply bellows
An important development in the design of bellows was
the introduction of more than one ply of metal in each
construction. It was discovered that by making bellows plies
of thin-gauge metal rather than from one sheet of thicker
gauge stock, flexibility and stress loading through movement
could be extended further up the pressure range. Multi-ply
bellows are a standard feature of our designs. Fig. 2.

in addition to the thermal expansion of the pipeline. 4.1.7 Life Cycles
The cyclic life expectancy of an expansion joint is affected by
various factors such as: (a) operating pressure, (b) operating
temperature, (c) the material from which the bellows is made,
(d) movement per convolution, (e) thickness of the bellows, (f)
convolution pitch, (g) depth and shape of the convolution, and
(h) bellows heat treatment. Any change in these factors will
result in a change in the life of the expansion joint.
The cyclic life expectancy can be defined as the total number

of complete cycles that can be expected from the expansion
joint based on data tabulated from tests performed at room
temperature under simulated operating conditions. A cycle is

as ± amounts from free length. The free length is the

can operate in any direction. Provided there are no more
than two tie bars, they can also accommodate angulation
movements of the flanges. The amount of lateral movement
is dependent upon the unit’s length.
Single Hinged Bellows

Code: HS
One of the major problems to overcome when using expansion

bellows with a combination of large diameters and high
pressure is that these units must be adequately guided and
anchored. There are, however, certain conditions where
it is not practical to install anchors; e.g. on a plant where space

The problem of pressure loads can be overcome by the use

Double Hinged Bellows of pressure balanced bellows units. There are a variety of
Code: HD arrangements but in every case the object is to eliminate the
effect of pressure loads by arranging bellows so that two
pressure loads - which are equal but act in opposite directions -
cancel each other out, which results in the plant only having to
accommodate the values of spring rates. These are relatively
small when compared with pressure loads and are usually
within loading limitations.
Double Hinged Bellows are basically two Single Hinged

Bellows combined into one unit with a common tie bar
joining the two extremities. Therefore, any expansion of the
centre pipe within the limits of the tie bar will simply compress
the bellows, and will not exert movements on the adjoining
pipework. This type of unit allows for lateral movement in
one plane only.
Mount-demount Expansion Joints

Code DK
One of the most commonly used pressure balance bellows

is shown in the diagram. In this case the effects of line
pressure is balanced by allowing the pressure to pass, via a
hole in the back of the bend, into a sealed outboard section
of the same effective area as the line. By tying the unit over
the extremities of the bellows, balance is obtained. When
one bellows is compressed due to axial movement of the
pipework, so the other is extended by the same amount due
to the pressure end load acting on the blank end plate. The
tie bar is always in contact with the support flanges, and
therefore at all time the pressure load is contained within the
unit itself.
In addition it is possible to have pressure balanced units

suitable for axial movement only. Also, where it is not
convenient to have a bend or elbow in the pipeline, special
units can be designed.
Mount-demount expansion joints are often installed when
a piece of equipment is to be removed regularly, such as
a valve. The expansion joint is compressed allowing additional
clearance (for the equipment to be removed and replaced).
In our standard manufacturing program we have diameters

from NB 150 up to NB 1000, for pressures 10, 16, 25 and 40
bar. On special request other diameters from NB 15 up to NB
5000 can be supplied.
Max-comp Bellows
Code: MC
“Max Comp” bellows are designed particularly for use in

polyurethane pre-insulated main pipeworks. The unit is a
fully enclosed and protected expansion device which can
be easily installed into pipework, without the usual need to
cold-pull or extend the bellows.

Ship Deck Services and Product Lines

For this application, in the majority of cases axial bellows
are used to provide expansion compensation for pipelines
providing the following services on tankers and bulk carriers:
steam, condensate, deck wash, fire fighting foam, hot and cold
tank washing, compressed air, and on liquefied natural gas
(LNG) tankers, product suction and discharge.
In this application the bellows have not only to be designed to

cater for thermal expansion of the pipe runs but also for any
additional movement due to hagging and sagging of ship
generally specified in terms of extension and compression for
an infinite cycle life under varying service conditions.
Also in this application, because of the effects of corrosion

precipitated by salt water spraying onto the outer surface of

2. Max-comp expansion joints Installation

Type MC The unit is cold pulled to maximum length prior to dispatch by
means of the pre-tensioning bolts. When the unit is installed
by pre-insulated pipe manufactures these pre-tensioned
bolts may be left in position and they are designed to break
off when the pipeline is heated to operating temperature.
There is no danger to personnel as the broken bolts are
contained within the insulation.
The bolt breaking load must be considered in the anchor

design when the pre-tensioning bolts are left in position.
For recommendations for anchor designs, please contact
James Walker Townson. Where the pipeline is open and the
pretensioning bolts are not adequately covered, it is advisable
to remove them prior to commissioning the pipeline and
after the anchors and guides have been installed.
If the installation temperature is higher than the minimum

anticipated line temperature it will be necessary to adjust the

prematurely in operation if the material is not sufficiently
resistant. The following notes refer to the most common service
conditions where care in the selection of bellows material
must be exercised.
Diesel Engine Exhaust Manifolds
Generally 18/9 Ti stainless steel is perfectly satisfactory, but
where oils have a high Sulphur content or where very high
Steam temperatures are present, alternative materials should be
considered.
For the majority of steam applications the use of 18/8 stainless
steel gives satisfactory service life. In some applications
Chlorides may be present in such quantity that there is risk
of failure of stainless steel bellows due to stress corrosion.
Similarly, in some high temperature steam services, where Hydrocarbon Lines
conditions are highly alkaline, there may be risk of failure
due to Caustic stress corrosion. In these cases the use of Stainless steel is satisfactory for many Hydrocarbon lines,
lncoloy 825 or other high Nickel alloy may be necessary. for some of the more arduous applications it is sometimes
necessary to use an appropriate high Nickel alloy such as Alloy
825 (UNS N 08825).
Marine Services
Stainless Steel (BS) EN 10088-2-1.4401 has been End Fittings
shown to give satisfactory service in general marine use,
including pipelines carrying sea water (for example tank It is often the case that bellows manufactured from one material

may sometimes fail. Also, where the pipework operates
at temperatures in excess of 80 °C - for example steam
services - and where there is prolonged contact with sea water
either inside or outside the bellows, Alloy 825 (UNS N 08825)
can be used.
Crude Oil Lines

For pipelines carrying crude oil - for example, discharge and
suction lines to crude oil storage tanks - consideration must
be given to the Sulphur or seawater content in the oil. In many
cases, where the oil is reasonably pure, Type 316 stainless
steel will give satisfactory service, but if the above impurities
are present, Alloy 825 (UNS N 08825) provides better
resistance towards pitting corrosion and is to be preferred.

UNS S 31635(316Ti) Specified where 321S31 is inadequate but where conditions are not sufficiently severe to require
the use of more expensive materials, such as high Nickel alloys. Typical uses include high Sulphur
crude oils, brackish waters, flue gases and numerous applications in chemical and petrochemical
processing.
3. ASTM A 240/A 240M W. N r. 14301/304S 1 1 č.4580 Bellows can be supplied in this unstabilised grade where specially required but it is our normal

4. ASTM A 240/A 240M This grade is sometimes requested for special purposes. Because of difficulty in obtaining material
(310) suitable for bellows manufacture it is our practice to offer lncoloy 800 as a superior alternative material
where necessary.
5. ASTM B 424 W. Nr. 2.4858 A very useful high Nickel alloy having good corrosion resistance towards a variety of media, excellent
UNS N 08825 resistance to Chloride and Caustic stress corrosion. Applications include steam service when
the highest degree of reliability is required, and cases where Type 316S11 stainless steel may be

Health warning: If PTFE or fluoroelastomer (eg, FKM, FFKM, FEPM) products are heated to elevated temperatures, fumes will be produced which may give unpleasant
effects, if inhaled. Whilst some fumes are emitted below 250°C from fluoroelastomers or below 300°C from PTFE, the effect at these temperatures is negligible. Care
should be taken to avoid contaminating tobacco with particles of PTFE or fluoroelastomer, or with PTFE dispersion, which may remain on hands or clothing. Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available on request.
Information in this publication and otherwise supplied to users is based on our general experience and is given in good faith, but because of factors which are out-
side our knowledge and control and affect the use of products, no warranty is given or is to be implied with respect to such information. Specifications are subject to
change without notice. Statements of operating limits quoted in this publication are not an indication that these values can be applied simultaneously.
