Simple BM-SI
Description
This expansion joint is made up of a single bellows with its connections.
It can absorb movements in any direction, axial, angular and lateral.
It is mainly used to absorb axial dilations in longitudinal direction of
straight piping systems, although depending on their design it can
absorb small quantities of angular and lateral movements. It is the most
straightforward type, although the piping must be controlled (anchored
and guided) so the movements foreseen are conveniently directed to the
right direction for correct operation.

Universal BM-UN
Description
A universal expansion joint is made up of two single bellows separated by
a central pipe spool. The main aim of this construction is to achieve great
absorption capacity of axial and lateral movements. This capacity depends
on the bellows design and the intermediate spool length, the greater
the length the greater the absorption capacity. Possible dilations on the
intermediate spool are likewise absorbed by the two bellows.

Cardan BM-GI
Description
It is designed to enable angular rotation on any plane with the use of two
articulations linked to a common cardan pivot. This support ring can be
round or square. The set of articulations and bolt pin must be designed to
support the pressure force.
The set of articulated joints and pivots of the two bellows must be
designed to support the pressure force.

Hinged BM-HI
Description
This expansion joint is made up of a simple bellows and metal
articulations with their corresponding pivot, enabling angular rotation
on a single plane. The articulation and pivot plates should be designed
to support the pressure force and any other specified load. Should axial
movements require absorption the bolt holes can be channelled, although
the resulting design will not withstand the pressure forces.

Pressure balanced BM-PB-ELBOW
Description
This Pressure balanced expansion joint is used for direction change cases
where the expansion joint with tie-rods should absorb axial movements
while retaining the pressure force. The elbow for direction change is
assembled between the line bellows and the compensation one which has
the same area, and all are connected to tie-rods designed to support the
pressure forces, and depending on the lateral movement they will be used
as a simple line bellows or universal.
The aim of this expansion joint style is to support and compensate the
pressure forces, so fixed anchorage is not required in the piping system,
and to reduce the forces and moments to a minimum on the flanges of
the delicate equipment joined to it, while absorbing axial and lateral
movements.
