The positive sign is valid for axial extension and the negative one for axial compression.

Combining movements：

The effects of combined movement may be calculated as follows:

ey + eθ + |ex|
{
ec = MAX e K + |e |
θ θ x }
e + e ‒ |e |
e = MAX{ e K ‒ |e | }
y θ x
e
θ θ x

e=Max (ec,ee)

The equivalent axial movement range per convolution, (e), results from the movement of an expansion
Joint from its initial position in the piping system to the operating position under consideration. When
an Expansion Joint is installed without lateral or angular cold spring, e is the greater of ec or ee as
calculated from the initial to the operating position under consideration. When cold springing is
involved the ec and ec due to the cold spring must be added algebraically to the ec and ee due to
movement from the neutral to the operating position in order to obtain the maximum movement range,
e.
When the bellows is pre-compressed:

E = Max (ec (pre-compressed/extension)+ee (Working condition),ee (pre-compressed/

extension)+ec (Working condition))
