The hinged type restraints the bellows pressure thrust by the hinge arms and pins mounted on the both sides of bellows and only low spring forces are transmitted to the fix point or equipment. These hinge hardware including arms & pins permit bellows to absorb the angular rotation on one plane. For the proper function of this type of Expansion Joint on piping-work, two or three sets of hinged Expantion Joint must be considered as figures bellow.


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¡ÆF
Actual operating temperature should always be specified.
6. Maximum test pressure: 11/2 ¡¿ maximum working pressure.
7. The overall length may be revised in accordance with the type of Expansion Joint and other attachment.

This type of Expansion Joint is constructed with two hinged Expansion Joint for the purpose of absorbing lateral displacement with each bellows bending action, so that large lateral displacement is permitted by lengthening the intermediate shell pipe. If the absorbing of themal growth from intermediate pipe is required within this type of Expansion Joint ifself on high temperature application in piping stress analysis, SAMSUNGFLEX can provide the specially designed hinge hardware assembly whit long hinge plate as much as the distance between the center line of each bellows, which perform the function like as swing bar. Also, the weight of intermediate shell pipe is supported by the hinge arm so that it does not affect the bellows.
