 1. Why is the Preformed Fabric Expansion Bellows?

1. The metallic expansion bellows used at pipe penetration area of HRSG

casing have had continuously problems by various causes (SCC,
spatter, dent, etc.) during erection and operation.
2. Leaking high temperature gas due to failures of bellows becomes the
cause of hot spot around bellows or damages to the surrounding
equipment.
3. Repair of metallic bellows is very special work and take long time and
lots of cost. (Special welder needed)
4. This problem increase a lot of additional cost during construction,
commissioning and operation.
5. Some companies tried to solve this problem with very expensive
methods.(Multi Plies, Inconel Bellows)
6. We need new material & method to solve this problem.
- More Flexibility
- More Easy Replacement

 2. Features of Metallic Expansion Bellows Failure
The metallic expansion bellows used at pipe penetration area of HRSG casing
have had continuously problems by various causes (SCC, spatter, dent, etc.)
during erection and operation.

(Welding Spatter) (Welding strike Hole) (Big Dent) (Insufficient Insulation)

 4. Major Causes of Metallic Expansion Bellows Failure

Major cause of failure was SCC and physical damages.

Many of failure cases depended on the skill of welders or workers.

SCC (Stress Corrosion Cracking) Elements.

- Tensile stress
- Corrosive environment
- Susceptible alloy

 6. Merits of Preformed Fabric Expansion Bellows

1. Stress and physical attacks can be released by rubber based silicon

with high flexibility
2. Compound bellows material based on silicon with NOMEX Fabric is
stable at critical environment such as heat, chemical, weather, etc.
3. Therefore major causes of bellows failure SCC, physical attack are
expected to be controlled.
4. Workability for erection and repair will be better, easier alignment and
fit-up
5. The special welders are not required.
