Use in-line on long pipe runs of straight piping to absorb major axial movement up to 12"
Joint is anchored in the center of the line, therefore two pipe guides must be
placed on each side of the unit.

EXPANSION LOOPS

Thermal growth in
other equipment
Derived from the "Stuffing Box", the slip type expansion joint is
an improvement on the Expansion Loop but is somewhat limited
in its applications, being suitable for axial motion only. Small
amounts of lateral or angular displacement will cause binding
and eventually premature leakage. The design of this product is
such that a regular examination and maintenance program must
be introduced so that if leakage occurs, packing is tightened or
replaced.
In most cases the initial cost of the Slip type expansion joint
greatly exceeds that of the Bellows expansion joint designed for
the same application. Another factor to be considered is maintenance costs of Bellows type vs. the Slip type, as the bellows type
requires no maintenance once correctly installed.

ACCESSORIES
LINERS
Liners or interval sleeves should be specified for expansion joints under the following conditions:
1.
When pressure drop must be held to a minimum and smooth flow is desired.
2.
When flow velocities are high and flow induced vibration could prove harmful to the bellows.
Thorburn recommends the use of liners where the flow velocities exceed the following values:
Air, steam and other gases:
a)
b)
Typical Standard
Expansion Joint
b)
3.
When turbulent flow is generated upstream of the expansion joint, heavy gauge liners are
required.
4.
When there is a possibility of erosion, such as in lines carrying catalyst or other abrasive
materials, heavy gauge sleeves should be used.
5.
When there is reverse flow, heavy gauge sleeves should be used and weep holes provided in
the liner.
6.
When extremely high temperatures are present. liners produce an air barrier which will
decrease the operating temperature of the bellows.
Typical Vanstone
Expansion Joint
COVERS
Thorburn's covers should be specified when the following conditions prevail:
1.
2.
When welding is going to be done in the immediate vicinity of the bellows and
there is a posibility of weld splatter or arc strikes hitting the bellows element.
3.
When the expansion joint is going to be externally insulated. Note: one end of the
cover must be left free to permit movement of the bellows, and the insulation used should be free from any substance which
could prove harmful to the bellows material in the event of leaching.
In the case of Extra-Flex, the cover is provided as an integral part of the expansion joint and serves as a protection for personnel in the
event of a bellows failure.
PURGE CONNECTIONS
Purge connections are used in conjuction with internal liners to:
1.
2.
LIMIT RODS
Limit rods are used to limit over-compression and/or over-extension of the
bellows element. Limit rods have no function under normal operating conditions. In the event of anchor failure the limit rod functions as a tie rod and
contains the pressure thrust forces. This safety device prevents damage to
piping, equipment and personnel.

CONTROL RODS
MULTI-PLY BELLOWS
Multi-ply bellows construction is used when increased fatigue life and lower forces
are required while still maintaining the same pressure capacity. The multiple plies
act in unison as far as hoop pressure loading is concerned, but act individually
when fatigue life and forces are calculated. Thorburn can also manufacture multiply bellows with varying materials. This is especially useful when the media dictates
a material for corrosion protection, but one that is not strong enough to take the
pressure loading. This type of construction allows Thorburn to supply the most
economic bellows of optimum design for any individual application. Small holes
are drilled into the outer ply cuffs of a multi-ply bellows to provide for expansion of
entrapped air between the plies during high temperature operation.

Use of these material codes as a suffix in the catalogue part number designate the bellows, liner, end connectors, spool and accessories material that
will be supplied by Thorburn.
Special note for flanges and pipes: when forged flanges or scheduled pipe are used, the same nomenclature symbols are used (i.e.: E2 or S6).
ASME "SA" or "SB" materials are available upon request.
All bellows material purchased by Thorburn is "mill annealed" in accordance with "A", "SA" or "SB" specifications. Thorburn does not perform any other
heat treating operations before welding, after welding, before forming convolutions or after forming convolutions unless specified by purchaser. Heat
treatment of bellows after forming convolutions can lower bellows' spring rate, "squirm" pressure and cycle life. Thorburn will cooperate with purchasers
requiring heat treatment after forming to arrive at what effect the heat treatment will have on published bellows data.

THORBURN
PRESSURE THRUST
The spring represents the axial spring rate of the bellows. The
hydraulic piston represents the effect of the pressure thrust which
the expansion joint can exert on the piping anchors or pressure
thrust restraints (hinges, Gimbals, tie rods) which may be part of
the expansion joint assembly. The area of the hydraulic cylinder
would be the effective area of the bellows.
Force on equipment or adjacent piping anchors "F" = (the effective area of the bellows) x (the working pressure) + (the spring
rate of the bellows) x (the stroke of the bellows).
The pressure thrust force would equal (the working pressure) x
(the bellows effective area).
The pressure thrust force is typically much higher than the spring
force.
Expansion joints designed for lateral offset or for angular motion
are more complicated to model accurately. However, the effect of
pressure thrust is the same.
2)
Working pressure
acting on the effective
area of the bellows
Pressure
The ability of a bellows to carry pressure is measured primarily
by hoop stress or S2 from the standards of the Expansion Joint
Manufacturers Association (EJMA). S2 is the stress which runs
circumferentially around the bellows due to the pressure difference
between the inside and the outside of the bellows.
Hoop stress is what holds a bellows together like the hoops on a
barrel. This stress must be held to a code stress level. The user
should specify the code to be used.

BELLOWS STABILITY

Expansion joints are designed to operate with a value of S6 which far exceeds the yield strength of the bellows material. This means that most expansion joints will take a permanent set at the rated axial or lateral motions.
They are rarely designed to be elastic. This also means that the bellows will
eventually fatigue after a finite number of movement cycles. It is important to
specify a realistic cycle life as a design consideration when ordering an
expansion joint. An overly conservative cycle life requirement can result in a
bellows design that is so long and soft that it is subject to squirm failure.

Rotational deflection applications
Figure 7 shows a typical arrangement in which Thorburn's
hinged expansion joints are installed in a "Z" type plane so
that the pipeline expansion is absorbed as rotational
deflection. Note that the thrust absorbing hinges eliminate
the need for main anchors and that Thorburn's expansion
joint "B" must be capable of absorbing the sum of the
rotation of expansion joints "A" and "C". Adequate guiding
is necessary to maintain single plane deflection.
Just as Thorburn's hinged expansion joints may offer
advantages in single plane applications, Thorburn's Gimbal
expansion joints (not shown) are designed to offer similar
advantages in multi-plane or "angled Z" plane systems.
The Gimbal expansion joints are thrust absorbing and
usually used in pairs with a Thorburn hinged expansion
joint in an arrangement similar to Figure 6.

LATERAL DEFLECTION (See Fig. 5 and 6)
For lateral deflection requirements it is necessary to consider,

PIPE ANCHORS
Pipe anchors divide pipelines into individually expanding sections. The pipe anchors must be designed to withstand all the
forces and movements imposed upon them. One Thorburn expansion joint system must be designed to provide adequate
flexibility between these pipe sections' anchors.
Special note: Do not install more than one single Thorburn expansion joint between the same two anchors in any straight pipe
section.
MAIN ANCHORS
A main pipe anchor must absorb the full line force due to internal pressure thrust, spring force to deflect Thorburn's bellows
expansion joint, friction of pipe moving and the weight of piping acting on the anchor.
Main anchors must be installed:
a)
b)
c)
d)
where shut-off valve or pressure relief valve is installed in a pipe run between two expansion joints
e)
INTERMEDIATE ANCHOR
Intermediate anchors must be designed to withstand
forces and movements imposed upon them
which include:
a)
b)
Special note: The intermediate anchor is not intended to absorb pressure thrust as it is normally an anchor between
a double bellows where the pressure thrust forces are balanced.
PIPE SUPPORTS
A pipe support permits free movement of the piping and supports only the weight of pipe
and fluid. Pipe rings, U-bolts, spring hangers and rollers are examples of pipe supports but
cannot be classified as pipe guides.

b)
internal pressure loading on the pipe which causes it to act like a column
loaded by the pressure thrust of Thorburn's expansion joint.
PLANAR GUIDE
Planar guides are used to restrict movement in one plane and permit movement in
another plane. Such restraint is a criterion for stability of most single and universal
tied joints when subject to internal pressure.
GUIDE DESIGNS
Proper design of both pipe alignment guides and planar pipe guides should
allow sufficient clearance between the fixed and moving parts of the alignment
guide to insure proper guiding without introducing excessive frictional forces.
Materials from which pipe alignment guides and planar pipe guides are made
must provide strength and rigidity under design operating conditions and be
sufficiently resistant to corrosion and wear to prevent eventual malfunction of
the guide.
The first two alignment guides immediatly adjacent to each side of Thorburn's
expansion joint should be circumferential to the pipe. Planar pipe guides must
be designed with additional clearance in one direction to permit the intended
lateral deflection and/or bending of the pipe to take place.
Typical insulated alignment guides
As in the case of pipe anchors, alignment guides can be subjected to lateral forces
as high as 15% of the total axial force, and the system designer must assure himself
that the guide, guide attachment and the structure to which it is attached are all
designed to conservative stress levels. The design of the total guiding system must assure that no relative shifting of alignment
guides and Thorburn expansion joint will occur from ground settlement or other environmental conditions.

THORBURN
DUAL-FLEX DFP
IN-LINE DOUBLE RESTRAINED EXPANSION JOINT SYSTEM
WITH INTERMEDIATE ANCHORS
Thorburn's in-line double expansion joint system is
specified when the axial movement of the piping run
exceeds the capability of Thorburn's Sing-Flex (Single
bellows) expansion joint. Model DFP consists of two single
joints joined by a common spool which is anchored to a
support base (intermediate anchor) directly to the
structure.

THORBURN
DUAL-FLEX DFT
TIED UNIVERSAL EXPANSION JOINT SYSTEM
Thorburn's Dual-Flex Model DFT expansion joint is
made up from two single expansion joints connected
by a piece of pipe called the center spool. Tie rods are
then attached on the outer ends to span both the bellows and the center spool. This type of construction
allows the bellows to absorb the thermal growth of the
piping between the tie rod attachments and still eliminates the pressure thrust on the system.

The most common application for Thorburn's Dual-Flex Model DFT tied
universal expansion joint system is the "Z" shape piping system. In this
case, the expansion joint absorbs the thermal growth of the horizontal
piping as lateral deflection.
Page 46
THORBURN
DUAL-FLEX DFT
TIED UNIVERSAL EXPANSION JOINT SYSTEM
One important advantage found in Thorburn's Dual-Flex
Model DFT is that the piping system does not have to be
in one plane. The two horizontal legs may lie at any angle
in the horizontal plane.
Where dimensionally feasable, Thorburn's Dual-Flex
Model DFT should be designed to fill the extra offset leg
so that its expansion is absorbed within the tie rods as
axial movement. If this is not possible, the growth of the
vertical piping leg outside the tied rods must be absorbed
by bending in the horizontal legs. To eliminate this deflection, Thorburn can supply its tied universal expansion joints
with two 90 elbows.
The tie rod attachments are then located at the centerline
of each elbow, therefore the bellows can now absorb the
total amount of thermal growth in the vertical leg of the
piping system. Please refer to the sketch below for
demonstration.
Due to the fact that the tie rods on Thorburn Dual-Flex Model
DFT absorbs all pressure loads, the piping system only needs
intermediate anchors. Directional guiding is all that is necessary.

APPLICATIONS
Ideal for long pipe run steam lining that require high pressure/
temperature containment with lots of axial movement
Extra-Flex cover contains the full line pressure of the system, thus if bellows failure were to occur, the media could
not escape radially outward and harm personnel in the
area.
Self draining
Extra-Flex convolutions make it impossible for media
collection in the bellows to cause any corrosive attack on
the bellows element. The sediment or residue collects at
the bottom of the casing for easy venting.

EXTRA-FLEX VS
SLIP JOINTS
EXTRA-FLEX VS EQUALIZING
EXPANSION JOINTS
The vocabulary of slip joint users invariably includes the following terms:
packing, leakage, periodic inspections, continual maintenance, large
vaults, etc. Thorburn Extra-Flex expansion joint has eliminated these
troublesome words from the expansion joint manufacturer's dictionary
and replaced them with more agreeable terms: packless, all-welded
construction, sealed system, leak-free and direct-burial-without-access
vault. Most agreeable is the cost; substantially less than an equivalent
slip joint.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Thorburn's pressure balanced expansion joints are used where there
is a change in the direction of the pipe line. The most common
applications for Thorburn's pressure balanced elbow is adjacent to
a piece of equipment such as a turbine, pump or valve where
allowable nozzle loads necessitate the elimination of pressure thrust.
Page 67
THORBURN
Bellows
Shipping bar
Turbine-exhaust flange
The use of the connecting pipe from the elbow/tee for the
balancing bellows must be large enough to assure rapid
equalitation of the pressure from balanced bellows with the
pressure of the universal flow belows.
Where a pressure line connects to a component that is
subject to a large amount of lateral deflection, Thorburn's
Series PBEU is used to absorb this external lateral movement
without impairing pressure loading on the system.

THORBURN
DUCTFLEX
RECTANGULAR METAL DUCTING EXPANSION JOINTS
APPLICATIONS
Dust collection and fume extraction ductwork systems
Turbine condenser ducting
Ducting systems to scrubbers, precipitators,
condensers, boiler breaching and other gas or large
"off-gas" systems
The diagram below also shows position of other Thorburn expansion joint products,
including fabric belted and fluoro elastomer expansion joint.
THORBURN DUCTING
EXPANSION JOINT SELECTION

THORBURN
2 1/2"
BENEFITS
Can be made with 12" inside radius round corner to eliminate stress risers that exist in the corners
of mitered or camera corner rectangular expansion joints.
Best design for gas turbine applications because bellows will heat up at a uniform rate to minimize
thermal shock.
The best design for vacuum service (condenser necks). Lower stress due to pressure.
Bellows will be close to the flue gas temperature at all times, providing that the bellows is insulated externally. Will minimize condensate
and sulfur base acids forming in the convolutions.
Highest pressure capacity.
LIMITATIONS
SINGLE MITERED CORNER SERIES SFRV3 - 5" & 7" HIGH CONVOLUTIONS
R 1/8"
7"(5")
Standard nominal
7" (5") high x 2.5" (2") pitch
BENEFITS
LIMITATIONS
The deep convolution acts like a radiator if not thoroughly insulated externally. In flue gas service with ash and sulfur present, this
cooling can result in the formation of condensate at the crest of the convolutions, causing pitting corrosion of the bellows.

government, floods and fires.
The obligation of Thorburn under this warranty is limited to making a replacement part available or the repair of the
defective part, and does not include the furnishing of any labour involved or connected therewith, such as that required to
diagnose trouble or to remove or install any such product, nor does it include responsibility for any transportation expenses
