1.1 Introduction to CONNEX® metal expansion joints

1.1.1 KE-BURGMANN A/S

Founded in 1963 as a company dedicated to the manufac-
ture of expansion joints, KE-BURGMANN can claim more
than 35 years of experience with expansion joints as our core
product. We develop, engineer, and manufacture fabric, rub-
ber and metal expansion joints in an almost unlimited variety
of designs for the solution of a similarly vast range of indus-
trial alignment problems in industrial facilities throughout the
world.

Our aim is to combine the experience we have acquired in the

past with our knowledge of the present and to blend this with
the technology of the future to the benefit of our customers
and partners all over the world.

Product quality and reliability; delivery; technical service; and

commercial integrity have always been, and will remain the
keystones of our relationships with our customers and suppli-
ers.

1.1.2 Engineering software

A metal expansion joint is a highly engineered product and its
design requires a series of technical calculations to ensure
that the resulting expansion joint is the one most suited to the
purpose. To guarantee the accuracy of these calculations we
at KE-BURGMANN have developed our own calculation soft-
ware which we have integrated into an overall management
system that not only optimises design calculations, it simulta-
neously provides quotations, manufacturing specifications
and QA procedures.

Our design calculations are based on the latest edition of

EJMA recommendations. QA procedures are based on ISO
9001, and EN 729.

1.1.4 Metal expansion joints - • assembly movement
highly engineered products • relative movements between other elements

Metal expansion joints are employed in piping systems to
absorb differential thermal expansion while containing the
system pressure. Typical, but not limiting, service conditions
cover pressures ranging from full vacuum to 1000 psig and
temperatures from -215°C (-420°F) to +1100°C
(+2190°F). Such expansion joints can truly be described as
highly engineered products. The system operating character-
istics; the expansion joint design, material and manufacturing
quality; and the installation, test and operating procedures;
must all be considered carefully before any expansion joint is
installed.
Unlike most commonly used piping components, a bellows is
constructed of relatively thin gauge material in order to pro-
vide the flexibility needed to absorb the mechanical and ther-
mal movements expected in service. This requires design,
manufacturing quality, handling, installation and inspection
procedures which reflect the unique nature of the product.
In general, the most reliable and safe metal expansion joint
installations can be assured only after close co-operation,
communication and understanding between the user and
manufacturer.
that are typical of piping and duct systems which feature
prominently in the processing and chemical industries, such
as petro-chemical plants, chemical plants, cement works,
steel works, the pulp and paper industry etc., and in the ener-
gy sector, such as power generation, gas turbine systems,
diesel engine systems, power boats, district heating systems
etc.
1.1.6 Metal expansion joints - the best
choice for piping, duct systems and ves-
sels, when a solution is required that is:
• vacuum proof
• pressure proof
• temperature proof
• corrosion proof
• reliable and safe
• durable, with long service life
• maintenance free and
• an optimum balance between flexibility and
pressure.

1.1.5 A metal expansion joint is able to

compensate for the following movements
• axial ± movements
• lateral ± movements
• angular movement (1 and 2 planes)

How a metal expansion joint bellows works
2.1 How a metal expansion joint bellows works

In its basic form the bellows acts like a flexible seal. It must
therefore be designed to withstand the forces characteristic
of the operating system, such as pressure and temperature,
and at the same time it must be sufficiently flexible to absorb
the applied movements.

The number of convolutions included in a bellows design

depends on the amount and type of movement for which the
bellows must compensate and/or on the reaction force
incurred.

In addition to the forces generated in the bellows due to

movement it is also important to understand the principles of
the basic forces acting on the bellows.

The bellows has to be strong enough circumferentially to

withstand the operating pressure and at the same time it
must have sufficient flexibility to respond to movement. Two
very important parameters in this respect are the pressure
thrust and the spring rate of the bellows. It should be noted that the effect of the pressure thrust is nor-
mally much higher than the effect of the spring rate, but that
One way to illustrate the effect of pressure thrust is to model for some applications the effect of the pressure thrust can be

The hydraulic piston represents the effective area of the bel-
lows and the spring represents the spring rate of the bellows. Example

The force (F) generated over the bellows acting on adjacent Effective area: 110000mm2

Metal expansion joint bellows design parameters
2.2 Metal expansion joint bellows design parameters
2.2.1 Operating conditions
and critical parameters
Temperature
The maximum and minimum design, operating and installa-
tion temperatures should be accurately stated. In situations
where the ambient temperature is expected to vary signifi-
cantly during pipe line construction, special care in expansion
joint positioning may be necessary.
Pressure
The system design pressure, operating pressure and test pres-
sure should be specified realistically without the addition of
arbitrary safety factors, because this practice necessitates
greater bellows material thickness to withstand the overstat-
ed pressures. This in turn may have an adverse effect on the
fatigue life of the bellows.
Standard expansion joints are designed for nominal pressure
(PN) and are listed in PN pressure steps in the product type
designation programme. For standard metal expansion joints
the PN (nominal pressure) factor can be defined as the
allowed positive operating pressure at room temperature. If
the temperature is increased, the allowed PN factor is pro-
portionately decreased to compensate for the reduction in the
material resistance values typical of the material being used.
The design pressure for the bellows may in general vary from
the PN.
03.007-F12 (GB)
Medium, Flow and Sleeve
The bellows material specified must be compatible not only
with the flowing medium, but also with any water treatment
or pipeline cleaning chemicals that may be used, and with the
external environment at the operating temperature. Due con-
sideration should also be given to all possible corrosion
effects, particularly stress corrosion.
If the flowing medium is a powder that can compact, or a liq-
uid or a slurry that may solidify or deposit solid particles in the
line, then provision should be made to prevent entrapment or
solidification in the convolutions which could result in serious
damage to the expansion joint or pipeline. Internal sleeves are
usually installed in the direction of flow. It is obviously unde-
sirable that any of the fluid material should be trapped behind
the sleeve. To avoid this we recommend that drain holes,
drilled into either the sleeve or the purge connections should
be specified. Where back-flow will be encountered, an extra
heavy sleeve should be specified to prevent buckling of the
sleeve and to obviate possible damage to the bellows. In
applications where the gas or fluid in an expansion joint is
traveling at high speed, the use of a sleeve is highly recom-
mended.
2.2.2 Bellows design criteria
The design of a bellows is complex in that it involves an eval-
uation of pressure related stress, stress due to deflection,
fatigue life, spring forces and instability (squirm). The deter-
mination of an acceptable design is further complicated by
the numerous variables involved such as diameter, material
thickness, pitch, height, number of plies, method of rein-
forcement, manufacturing technique, material type
and heat treatment. In many cases, the
most successful design for a
particular
Metal expansion joint bellows design parameters application will involve a compromise between conflicting
requirements. A bellows design should always be based on
the expected temperature of the bellows metal during opera-
tion.
In this section a short description of the different bellows
design criteria is presented to allow the reader to study a spe-
cific EJMA calculation. The table at the end of this section
presents the different design variables and their effect on the
properties of the bellows.
Bellows stability
Excessive internal pressure may cause a bellows to become
unstable and this could culminate in the condition called
'squirm'. Squirm is detrimental to bellows performance in that
it can greatly reduce both resistance to fatigue and pressure
capacity. The two most common forms are column squirm
and in-plane squirm.

Pressure stress
A major source of stress in a bellows is due to the effects of
pressure. Pressure produces circumferential (hoop) mem-
brane stress in the bellows tangent and convolutions.
Reference to this kind of stress is made in the EJMA codes
S1 and S2 respectively.

Meridianal membrane and bending stress is also produced in

the convolutions by pressure. This kind of stress runs in the
longitudinal direction of the bellows. Reference: EJMA codes
S3 and S4. Column squirm

Column squirm is defined as a gross lateral shift of the cen-

S3 S2 tre section of the bellows. It results in curvature of the bel-
Pressure lows centerline as shown. This condition is mostly associated
with bellows which have a relatively high length-to-diameter
S4
ratio and is analogous to the buckling of a column under com-
P pressive load.
S1
In-plane squirm is defined as a shift or rotation of the plane
of one or more convolutions such that the plane of these con-
volutions is no longer perpendicular to the axis of the bellows.
It is characterised by tilting or warping of one or more con-
Deflection stress volutions. This condition is predominantly associated with
Both membrane and bending stress can be caused in a bel- high meridianal bending stress and the formation of plastic

End connecdtions and Sleeves 2.3.2 Sleeves
The use of inner sleeves is recommended for use in situa-
tions where it is necessary to
• Protect the bellows from wear caused by abrasive media.
A heavy gauge sleeve must be used for this type of duty;
• Protect the bellows from flow-induced bellows resonance
or vibration;
• Reduce the frictional resistance of the medium;
• Prevent turbulence due to high flow velocity;
• Enable the expansion joint to function properly in high
temperature applications in which it is required that the
bellows material operates at a reduced temperature.
When there is a risk of media building up on the bellows side
of the sleeve, such devices should be used only as a last
resort - even so, great caution should be exercised in their
application. In fact, as a general rule, the use of a sleeve in
such cases should be avoided.
General EJMA recommendations for the use of an inner
sleeve in terms of media, flow velocity and diameter are:

2.4 Movements and their definitions
Expansion joints may be subjected to:
• axial movement (i.e. the various dimensional changes
which an expansion joint is required to absorb, such as
those resulting from thermal changes in a piping system)
• angular rotation
• lateral deflection; or
• any combination of these.
The movements are defined as follows:
2.4.1 Axial movement
Axial movement (+) (-)
Axial movement may be referred to as Compression (-): the
decrease in length of an expansion joint along its longitudi-
nal axis, and Elongation/Extension (+): the increase in length
of an expansion joint along its longitudinal axis.
The maximum rated axial movement for CONNEX® metal
expansion joints is expressed as + value 1 / - value 2. The
total axial displacement is the span from value 1 to value 2
and any pre-setting can be made within these limits.
2.4.2 Lateral movement
Lateral offset (-) (+)
Lateral movement may be referred to as Lateral Offset or
03.007-F12 (GB)
Deflection (±) - the relative displacement of the two ends of
an expansion joint perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.
In reality, lateral deflection is a special case of angular rota-
tion. The two bellows in a universal type expansion joint, or
each end of the bellows of a single type expansion joint,
rotate in opposite directions to produce the total lateral
deflection. Lateral deflection in UNO types results in unequal
distribution of movement over the bellows, the amount of dis-
placement increasing with the distance from the centre of the
expansion joint.
The maximum rated movement for a Connex® metal expan-
sion joint is expressed as the absolute value resulting from
lateral deflection in the y and z directions.
Max. lateral movement,
any direction
2.4.3 Angular movement
Angular offset (+) (-)
Angular movement may be referred to as Angular Rotation or
Rotational Movement - the displacement of the longitudinal
axis of the expansion joint from its initial straight line position
into a circular arc. The expansion joint bellows absorbs pure
angular rotation by extending uniformly on one side and com-
pressing uniformly on the other. Angular movement initiates
a column squirm. Compensation is made for this in the design
calculation taken from the EJMA handbook, 7th edition.
The maximum rated angular rotation for Connex® metal
expansion joints is expressed as the absolute value whether
plus or minus.

Please contact KE-BURGMANN if any torsional movement or
moments could be created in the system that the expansion Build in length
joint will be required to absorb.

2.4.5 Movements in combination
Combining movements to be absorbed in an expansion joint may
be expressed as axial compression (x), lateral deflection (y) and
angular rotation ( ) occurring in the same plane. The specified
axial and lateral values are all maximum values, calculated for
a minimum of 3000 full cycles. It is possible to exploit the abil-
ity of an expansion joint to take up movements in more than one
direction by using various expansion joint combinations.
This is best illustrated in an axis diagram, where the maxi-
mum axial and lateral movements are indicated. When com-
bining the movements within the diagram, the required main
movement (axial or lateral) will set a limit to the maximum
allowable secondary movement. By keeping within the
allowed combinations, the functionality and service life of an
Preset
Ex. of pre-setting
The movement diagram also defines in which area the expan-
sion joint can operate. If the operating point lies outside the
defined movement area, and if the expansion joint is installed
in its normal length at delivery (neutral length), it may be pre-
set during installation. This will move the operating point
inside the allowed movement area. Full movement potential
of the expansion joint and the consequent extension of its life-
time can be achieved by pre-setting the expansion joint even
further in the axial direction.
By pre-setting expansion joints laterally at the same time, the
optimum operating conditions for the expansion joint are
achieved and thereby the longest life.

CONNEX® metal expansion joint types, type designation and selection guide 3.1.3 Metal expansion joint types
Single expansion joint:
Single expansion joint
This is the simplest form of expansion joint. It is a single bel-
lows construction for the purpose of absorbing any combina-
tion of the three basic movements - axial movement, lateral
deflection; and angular rotation - but most frequently, axial or
angular motion. Where small thermal movements are involved
and where proper anchoring and guiding are feasible, a sin-
gle expansion joint will provide the most economical solution.
However, such a joint will require the maximum of guiding,
anchoring and installation supervision.
A common use of the single expansion joint is the absorption
of the axial movement of a straight pipe between main
anchors. The joint should be placed near one anchor and
guides are recommended to ensure its proper alignment and
to control its movement. In some cases, a single expansion
joint can be used to absorb small amounts of lateral move-
ment. A directional main anchor must then be used to absorb
the pressure thrust.
Universal expansion joint:
Universal expansion joint
A universal expansion joint consists of two bellows joined by
a common connector, a configuration that will absorb any
combination of the three basic movements: axial, lateral; and
angular.
03.007-F12 (GB)
Universal expansion joints are normally provided with tie or
control rods (a tied universal expansion joint) to distribute the
movement between the two bellows of the expansion joint
and eventually to stabilize the common connector. A tied uni-
versal expansion joint can absorb large amounts of lateral
deflection while absorbing the pressure thrust forces.
An important advantage of this type of expansion joint is that
the piping system does not have to be in one plane, the two
horizontal legs may lie at any angle in the horizontal plane.
An untied universal expansion joint (without tie or control
rods) would be recommended for the absorption of significant
amounts of lateral movement because this type of expansion
joint will minimize the magnitude of the forces exerted on the
anchors.
Hinged expansion joint:
Hinged expansion joint
Typically, a hinged expansion joint consists of either one or
two bellows in a double hinge design, and, by the use of a
pair of pins through the hinge plates attached to the expan-
sion joint ends, it will permit angular rotation in only one
plane. The hinges and hinge pins must be designed to restrain
the thrust of the expansion joint in response to internal pres-
sure and extraneous forces, where they are present. Hinged
expansion joints are often used in sets of two or three in order
to function properly.
Where the flexibility of the piping in a single plane system is
not sufficient to absorb the thermal expansion of the spool, a
system of three, hinged expansion joints may be used. In this
system, the combination of expansion joints absorbs all the
thermal expansion of the piping, thus preventing its deflec-
tion. This system produces the lowest forces possible on the
intermediate anchors and guides.
The amount of lateral movement that can be absorbed by a sys-
tem containing a set of hinged expansion joints depends on the
distance between the hinge pins. This distance should therefore
be as large as possible, in order to exploit the hinge system to
its best advantage. If the thermal movements of a piping sys-
tem occur in only one plane, the use of hinged expansion joints
will provide the most efficient method of absorbing them.
CONNEX® metal expansion joint types, type designation and selection guide Gimbal expansion joint: make the balancing bellows extend an equal amount. Since
there is no change in the volume of the system, the pressure
forces remain in balance.

Quality assurance programme
7.1 Quality assurance programme

KE-BURGMANN is approved to the ISO 9001 quality stan-
dard. We also operate a quality assurance system that cov-
ers written procedures and defines minimum quality stan-
dards for the manufacture of expansion joints, from the selec-
tion of material through manufacturing and testing to prepa-
ration for delivery.
Our quality assurance system ensures a very high degree of
safety for the customer in the quality of the product.
As standard, all our products are manufactured to exceed a
defined minimum quality by submitting them to rigorous test-
ing and checking procedures. All materials used for bellows
are supplied with a certificate of quality, the minimum being
a 3.1B certificate.
If our customers require it, our products can be manufactured
and exposed to an extended degree of testing.
The table below indicates the range of non-destructive test
procedures (NDT) that are offered by KE-BURGMANN.

Shipping, storage and installation
9.1 Shipping and storage

By their very nature bellows expansion joints are more deli-

cate than many of the other components of the systems into
which they are installed, and Connex® metal expansion joints
are no exception. All products in the KE-BURGMANN manu-
facturing programme are therefore designed and manufac-
tured within the most stringent quality control systems.

This dedication to quality is the only way in which we can

ensure that the products we deliver meet our criteria for
excellence and we strongly recommend that similar care and
attention be paid to their warehousing, and distribution with-
in a customer's facility. Any distortion or damage to the
expansion joint, caused during handling on a customer's
premises, will almost certainly affect the performance of the
expansion joint and cannot be covered by the product guar-
antee.

The following instructions must be followed:

• Movement and handing procedures should always reflect
the sensitivity of the product

• Any expansion joint that has not been designed to operate

in aggressive conditions should not be exposed to any
such conditions during handling, storage or installation

• Care must be taken to prevent any form of mechanical

damage to the expansion joint

• Expansion joints should never be stacked on top of each

other, and particular care should be taken not to bump or
drop them

• Expansion joints should always be stored in a dry, clean

storage area protected from the elements

• If shipping devices are used, these should not be

removed before installation but must be removed before
start-up of the system. Shipping devices can easily be
identified. They are either painted yellow or are marked
with yellow tape
03.007-E17 (GB)

• Shipping marks, if any, must not be removed before

installation

9.2 Installation instructions

9.1.2 Installation instructions inside or outside of the bellows convolutions

Proper care must be taken during installation to ensure that
the calculated lifetime and pressure capacity are maintained.
The bellows are fabricated from thin gauge material and
require very careful handling during installation. The following
instructions must be observed during installation and in case
of doubt, contact us immediately for further instructions.
Please note: If the recommended installation procedures
are not followed, our warranty will be void.
Do - inspect bellows and hardware for any physical damage.
Dents or scratches on the bellows may reduce both lifetime
and pressure capacity.
Do - refer to EJMA recommendations concerning guides,
spacing and anchor specifications.
Do – ensure that, if only the bellows is required, it is extend-
ed to the correct, built-in-length before installation.
Do not - remove any protection prior to installation
Do not - expose bellows to weld splatter or wheel-swarf. If nec-
essary, protect bellows with 'nochloride' wet protection blankets.
Do not - open or remove anything from the package before
installation
Do not - drop or bump the bellows

 Terms of sale and delivery for KE-BURGMANN A/S
The terms specified below apply to all deliveries
and orders unless otherwise agreed and con-
firmed in writing by KE-BURGMANN A/S, here-
inafter called "KE".
1.
Purchasers' orders are only binding on KE if the
purchaser has received an order confirmation in
writing.
The prices quoted are net prices ex works, and
do not include packaging and duties.
2.
The obligations of KE include only those spec-
ified in the order confirmation.
Any drawings, illustrations and technical data in
catalogues are guidelines. KE assumes no
responsibility for any errors in or misinterpretations
of this material.
KE retains ownership of all drawings, descrip-
tions and proposals accompanying quotations or
deliveries. Such drawings, descriptions and pro-
posals shall not be used, copied, reproduced or
released to any third party or be disclosed in any
other way to any third party without the prior
consent of KE.
3. Prices
All orders are booked at the prices current on the
order date, unless the order is subject to a bind-
ing quotation made by KE.
Prices are ex works and are valid in the cur-
rency and for the goods and services itemized in
the order confirmation. The prices do not include
VAT and packaging, and are based on the rates
of exchange and prices for materials, wages,
transport costs and duties current on the order
date. In the event of any changes in these fac-
tors, KE reserves the right to adjust its prices in
accordance with current levels at any time up to
the delivery date. KE reserves the right to charge
a handling or changeover fee for small deliveries.
In the event that the purchaser wishes changes
to be made in the order or specifications placed
or made, the cost of such changes shall be
charged to the purchaser as per a statement
issued by KE.
4. Payment
Unless otherwise specified in the order confir-
mation, payment shall be made in cash net on
delivery.
If payment has not been made by the due date,
KE shall charge punitive interest of 1,5% per
calendar month from the due date of payment.
If the purchaser does not receive the delivery by
the agreed date, the purchasing price falls due
for payment when KE notifies the purchaser that
the consignment is ready for delivery.
If the purchaser fails to order the dispatch of the
goods, KE shall be entitled to store and insure
the goods at the expense of the purchaser. If the
purchaser (despite a written request to do so)
fails to collect the goods, KE shall be entitled to
sell the goods at the best possible price on the
purchaser's account. If this proves impossible,
the whole purchasing price plus any costs
incurred by KE falls due for payment immediately
and without further notice.
If it has been agreed that the purchasing price is
to be paid in instalments, KE shall be entitled to
consider the purchasing price as due for pay-
ment if any instalment is not paid by the due
date. In the event of partdeliveries, each shall be
payable on delivery, and if payment for any de-
livery has not been made by the due date, KE
shall be entitled to withhold further deliveries
without thereby forfeiting the right to demand the
completion of the transaction.
The purchaser shall not be entitled to offset any
counterclaims not accepted by KE against the
price payable.
5. Delivery
Delivery is ex works acc. to Incoterms 1990.
EXPANSION JOINTS DIVISION
KE shall effect the dispatch of the goods for the
purchaser's account and risk.
KE shall only insure the purchaser's risk in con-
nection with transport if so agreed in writing.
Unless otherwise agreed, delivery will be made
according to KE's instructions. In cases where
the delivery date has been agreed, delivery up to
one week before or one week after the specified
delivery date shall in every respect be considered
punctual delivery.
KE may demand postponement of the delivery
date in cases where the purchaser requests
changes in the order, in the event of force
majeure (cf. Art. 10) and in cases where work
on the consignment must be stopped or is
delayed by official requirements.
If the delivery is substantially delayed, the pur-
chaser may terminate the agreement in writing.
If equipment manufactured to the specifications
of the purchaser is delayed, or if the equipment
is of a type not normally stocked by KE, the
agreement may only be terminated if the delay
entails that the purposes for which the pur-
chaser has ordered the goods cannot be fulfilled.
If the purchaser can prove that delay is due to
faults or omissions on the part of KE, and that he
has thereby incurred losses, the purchaser shall
be entitled to compensation for the losses thus
incurred.
Compensation cannot, however, exceed an
amount corresponding to 1% (one per cent) of
the agreed payment for the delayed consign-
ment for each full week of delay, and compen-
sation can at most amount to 10% of the
agreed payment.
If the purchaser requests packaging, or if KE
considers packaging necessary to protect the
consignment, such packaging shall be charged
to the purchaser. No return of packaging is
accepted. KE's storage rules, which are sent
with the order confirmation, shall apply.
Delivery, in the terms of the Danish Sale of
Goods Act, is effected when the goods are han-
ded over to common carrier, in as much as de-
livery to forwarding agent for further dispatch is
deemed to constitute delivery.
6. Defects and shortcomings
The liability of KE for defects and shortcomings
remains in force for a period of twelve months
from the date when the goods supplied are put
into operation, but for no longer than eighteen
months from the invoice date.
The scope of the liability of KE is as specified
below:
- Within the period specified above, KE under-
takes to remedy all defects or shortcomings in
the goods delivered by repair or redelivery at the
discretion of KE. The obligation of KE to remedy
defects or shortcomings is conditional on the
presentation of proof by the purchaser that the
delivered equipment suffers from defects or
shortcomings, including documentation that the
equipment has been stored, assembled, instal-
led, put into operation and maintained correctly
in accordance with the operation and main-
tenance instructions provided by KE.
- The obligation of KE lapses if non-KE-manufac-
tured or non-KE-approved components are used
together with the goods delivered by KE.
Moreover, the obligation does not apply to con-
sequences of inappropriate and/or incorrect use
of the goods delivered, including deviations from
the agreed specifications.
- The obligations of KE apply only to payroll costs
and materials directly related to the remedying of
defects and shortcomings. All other costs related
to any defect or shortcoming - including trans-
port, compensation for waiting time, subsistence
or accommodation costs, and the costs of expo-
sing or gaining access to defective parts, shall
be no concern of KE. KE assumes no further lia-
bility for the equipment delivered, and the pur-
chaser cannot cancel the purchase, demand any
proportional price reduction or compensation or
withhold the purchasing price in whole or in part.
- KE is only liable for ensuring that the goods de-
livered are sufficient and/or appropriate to fulfil
the purchaser's requirements in terms of ca-
pacity and any other factors in so far as KE has
contributed to the planning of the project in ques-
tion, and in so far as the purchaser is able to
document that the information provided by the
purchaser as documentation of the purchaser's
claim is correct, fully satisfactory and approved
by KE, and insofar as any drawings etc. provided
by KE have been used in accordance with the
information provided therewith.
- KE can only assume responsibility for informa-
tion provided on specifications, choice of ma-
terials etc., including project planning or contribu-
tions to project planning, if such provision of in-
formation forms an explicit part or the pur-
chasing agreement.
- If any defect in design, material or construction
of any part manufactured by KE is proven, and
the purchaser can document that the defect in
question is not a result of ordinary wear, poor
maintenance or improper handling, KE shall,
within normal working hours, carry out any
repairs or renovation to the extent deemed
necessary by KE. Parts manufactured by third
parties which form part of the goods or services
provided by KE shall be subject only to the same
guarantee as is issued by the subcontractors or
subsuppliers in question.
- Beyond this the purchaser shall not be entitled
to compensation for damage to products or
other equipment not supplied by KE, nor to com-
pensation for consequential loss, loss of profits,
losses due to late delivery or the like. KE shall
not be obliged to cover expenses incurred by the
purchaser in connection with the discovery of
defects in or the repair of equipment supplied
unless KE has specifically agreed to do so.
7. Complaints
Complaints of shortcomings in a delivery are to
be submitted in writing without undue delay
after the discovery of the shortcoming. Returned
goods will only be accepted by prior written
agreement.
8. Product liability
KE shall only be liable for personal injury if it can
be proved that the injury has been caused by the
fault or omission of KE or other persons in the
service of KE. Compensation for personal injury
can never exceed the compensation rate current
in Danish law at any time, nor the sum specified
by KE's product liability policy.
KE shall not be liable for any damage to real
property or chattels occuring while the equip-
ment is in the possession of the purchaser. Nor
shall KE be liable for any damage to products
manufactured by the purchaser or to other
products of which products manufactured by the
purchaser form part.
On the same terms as apply to personal injuries,
KE shall be liable for damage to real property
and chattels, with the proviso that compensation
can never exceed the maximum current amount
specified at any time by KE's product liability
policy.
KE disclaims all liability for consequential loss,
loss of working profits or other indirect losses.
Insofar as KE may be subject to product liability
with respect to any third party, the purchaser
shall be obliged to indemnify KE to the extent to
which KE's liability is limited by the present
terms of sale and delivery. The said limitations on
KE's liability shall not apply if KE has been guilty
of gross negligence. In the event that any third
party claims damages from either of the parties
in accordance with this clause, said party shall
immediately notify the other party. KE and the
purchaser shall be mutally obliged to answer the
claim before the court or arbitration tribunal
which tries the claim for damages filed against
one of the parties on the basis of damage
allegedly caused by the goods delivered.
The limitations on the obligations of the seller
shall not apply if they conflict with statutory
product liability provisions.
9. Limitation of liability
KE disclaims all liability for indirect damage and
loss such as consequential loss, timerelated
loss, loss of profits or other similar loss.
10. Force majeure
KE shall not be liable for failure to complete, or
delay in completing the agreement as a result of
force majeure, war, riots, civil unrest, govern-
ment intervention or the intervention of public
authorities, fire damage, strikes, lockouts, ex-
port and/or import bans, non-delivery or late de-
livery from subcontractors or subsuppliers, short-
age of labour or of fuel, nor for any other cir-
cumstance beyond the control of KE, and liable
to delay or prevent the manufacture and delivery
of the goods sold.
In the event that due delivery of goods without
defects or shortcomings is temporarily prevented
by one or more of the above circumstances,
delivery shall be postponed for a period corre-
sponding to the duration of the hindrance, plus a
reasonable period thereafter to allow for the nor-
malization of the situation. Delivery by the
deferred date thus specified shall in all respects
be deemed delivery by the due date. In the event
that the obstacle to delivery may be expected to
last more than eight weeks, both KE and the pur-
chaser shall be entitled to cancel the agreement
without thereby becoming guilty of breach of
contract.
11. Cancellation
Orders manufactured in whole or in part to the
specifications of the purchaser cannot be can-
celled.
12. Information, structural
drawings, instruction material
and certificates
Without further notice, KE reserves the right to
make changes in its products, provided such
changes have no adverse effect on the product
purchased. This shall also apply to products
already ordered.
When delivering the products, KE undertakes to
send instructional material to ensure that instal-
lation, storage and maintenance required by
regulations are observed.
Attentions, approvals and certificates not requir-
ed by the public authorities shall be paid for
separately by the purchaser.
13. Applicable law and
legal venue
Any dispute between the parties which cannot
be settled amicably shall be settled by Danish
law - either by arbitration or by the Maritime and
Commercial Court in Copenhagen at the discre-
tion of KE.
In cases where KE chooses to settle a dispute by
arbitration, the arbitration tribunal shall consist of
three members, all to be appointed by the Presi-
dent of Vestre Landsret (the Western High Court
of Denmark). One of these members - the Chair-
man - must be qualified as a judge. The other
two members shall have professional qualifica-
tions with respect to the object of the dispute.
