Stainless steel metal expansion joint with flanges — convoluted bellows construction
Product overview

Pipework moves. Expansion joints let it.

Thermal expansion, vibration and equipment misalignment all induce stress in rigid pipework. Expansion joints are the designed solution — absorbing movement before it transfers as fatigue into flanges, welds and equipment connections.

Santoo supplies the full range: stitched fabric bellows for ducting, metal bellows for high-temperature pipework, rubber and PTFE joints for vibration isolation and chemical service.

Flanged rubber expansion joint — absorbing vibration and compensating misalignment

Product range.

Stitched bellowsFabric, aluminium and rubber — for low-pressure ducting and air handling
Metal expansion joint bellowsFor high-temperature and high-pressure steam, hot oil and process pipework
Rubber expansion joint bellowsFor vibration isolation and misalignment at moderate pressures
PTFE expansion joint bellowsFor chemical service — broad chemical resistance
Metal bellow sealsFor rotating equipment shaft sealing
Multi-layer fabric duct bellows — flexible connector for air handling and low-pressure applications
Applications

Where these products are installed.

Process pipework, flue and duct systems, pump and compressor connections, heat exchanger connections and shaft sealing across oil and gas, chemical, water treatment, power generation and marine facilities throughout the GCC.

Common questions.

What types of expansion joints are available?

Stitched bellows in fabric, aluminium and rubber; metal expansion joint bellows; rubber and PTFE bellows; and metal bellow seals.

Fabric vs metal expansion joints?

Fabric bellows handle large movements in low-pressure ducting. Metal expansion joints handle higher pressures and temperatures. Rubber expansion joints absorb vibration at moderate pressures.

Can joints be supplied to a custom line size?

Yes. Custom line sizes, flange ratings and end configurations available on request.
