In a whole construction view point, this type of Expansion Joint is very similar the universal Expansion Joint Except for the adapting of tie-rods assemblies, which permit the combination of two bellows to absorb lateral offset only. In case high temperature is applied on designm SAMSUNGFLEX consider the axial thermal growth from the intermediate & end shell pipe, which are the constituent units of this type of expansion joint, in the bellows membrane strength calculation. Inside lock nuts are also recommended as part of tie-rod assemblies to eliminate the damage which could be happened on other vessel, or equipment from bellows pressure thrust.

1. Rated cycle life is 3000 cycles per EJMA 6th edition for any non-concurrent movement tabulated.
2. To combine axial, lateral movement refer to page 4.
3. Maximum axial extension movement is 50% of tabulated axial value.
4. To obtain greater movements of cycle life refer to page 4.
5. Catalogue pressure ratings are based upon a maximum bellows temperature 800°F
Actual operating temperature should always be specified.
6. maximum test pressure: 1 1/2 × maximum working pressure.
7. The overall length my be revised in accordance with the type of Expansion Joint and other attachment.
