Importance of Industrial Bellows for Industrial Unit

There are two main types of bellows such as formed bellows and welded industrial bellows. Welded metal bellows find its use in varied forms in different industries. Industrial bellows are manufactured with systematic planning, product design, maintaining quality standards coupled with finite element and metallurgical analysis besides functional test and thermal tests. These welded metal bellows perform under stressful environment such as high pressure and extreme temperature. This characteristic helps metal bellows to act as temperature transducer.

Metal bellows and bellows valve have wide range of applications and benefits. Firstly, they are corrosion resistant, heat and pressure resistant, they enhance product longevity, ensure cleanliness at the work place, offers much sought flexibility, come with better sealing performance and last they are compatible to extreme environment conditions including salt spray, high humidity as well as corrosive fluids. Some of the bellow products include accumulators, surge arrestors, reservoirs which are used in fluid management technologies. These welded industrial bellows differ in function but still come with similar construction.

Each of these bellow components consist of an outer containment, internal bellows separator and ports either in one side or in both sides depending upon application. The bellows act as separator that is welded on one end of the containment. The other end of the bellow is closed and it slides through containment as the industrial bellows contracts and expands with the fluid system. Depending upon the need and the application, the fluid can be either inside the bellows or even outside like between the bellows and the containment.
