Choosing the right material for your metal bellows is essential. Non-ferrous metals are suitable for many sensing and actuation applications. Still, they can’t be used to handle aggressive chemicals or production lines that place a very high emphasis on cleanliness, such as the food industry. For applications in vacuum chambers, such as vacuum valves, pumps, or vacuum interrupters, the best solution is to use stainless-steel bellows. Uses for Stainless Steel [...]

Many people buy cars with diesel engines because they can carry heavy loads and they’re fuel-efficient. The engine has many integral parts, such as glow plugs and the head gasket. Yet, engine exhaust bellows often get overlooked. This piece will discuss what you need to know about diesel engine exhaust bellows so you can develop a stronger appreciation for your ride. Limit Vibration Every car vibrates when you turn [...]

Busted pipelines cause substantial headaches for everyone involved. Manufacturers test the pipelines to ensure this doesn’t happen. They typically do this through a process known as hydrostatic tests. This article will overview hydrostatic testing in industrial applications for those interested in learning more about the process. What Is Hydrostatic Testing? Hydrostatic testing is meant to measure static in a sealed area over time. Essentially, manufacturers push liquid through a pipe [...]

Though it’s icky to think about, wastewater is important. These piping systems help keep buildings sanitary and smelling nice. Without them, there’s no telling how gross it’d be to walk into each establishment. Surprisingly, these mechanisms are more complex than you may think. This article will tell you about how expansion joints are used in wastewater treatment so you can develop a newfound appreciation for the systems. Vibration and Pipe [...]

Metal bellows aren’t created equally. Some metal bellows are more suited for jobs than others. A lot of this has to do with the materials they’re made from. This article explains the materials metal bellows are made from and why it matters. It’d help if you did a little research before using any old part you have at the shop. Stainless Steel Some metal bellow manufacturers use stainless steel [...]

Expansion joints are commonly found in piping systems. These joints absorb noise or high temperatures to prevent leaks and other incidents. Since they’re such a vital component to a comprehensive system, you need to watch for these warning signs of a failed expansion joint. By reading this advice, you can prevent accidents and potential lawsuits. Shipping Problems A warning sign of a failed expansion joint is if it arrives [...]
