Installation precautions for large tie rod transverse corrugated compensator.
Sep-22-02
1. Protect the bellowsBellows made of multi-layer very thin stainless steel, is the main part of the big tie rod compensator, so in transportation, installation, welding should pay attention to prevent damage to the bellows parts.
2. Correct cold tightening
Cold tight installation can obtain greater compensation, but also can make the compensator in good working condition, cold tight attention to the installation of the cold tight mouth can not be too close to the compensator, not allowed to rely on the compensator deformation to match the pipeline cold tight, to prevent the installation of misalignment, unevenness and other stresses acting on the bellows strains compensator.
3. Not subject to torque
At any time in the installation and work, the compensator body can not be subjected to torque, so as not to damage the bellows.
4. Horizontal installation can not bear the weight of the pipe
Because of the poor strength of the bellows, rigid small, can not bear the force other than the medium, so the horizontal installation, the compensator ends from the distance near the support should be shortened, so as to avoid the gravity of the pipe acting on the bellows, causing the bellows deformation or even damage.
