Metallic Bellow

What is a Metallic Bellow ?

Metallic Bellow is a flexible, engineered component that absorbs mechanical movements and vibrations within a piping system. Typically made from materials like stainless steel or other high-grade metals, Metallic Bellow have a series of convoluted rings or folds that allow them to expand, contract and flex while maintaining strength and integrity.

Metallic Bellows are often integrated with pipe lines / duct lines via both side flanges to absorb temperature and heavy movements to prevent pipe line damage, extending their lifespan and maintaining operational safety.
