Pipe thermal expansion compensating joint - has rubber bellows with wire mesh cover with gaps between groups of strands

摘要

The pipe expansion joint consists of a rubber bellows (1) whose ends are secured between flanges (3, 4). This is covered on its outside by wire mesh (8) secured at each end to the inner flanges (3). The strands of the wire mesh (8) are arranged in gps. with gaps between them, so that a uniform pattern of holes is formed between intersecting and parallel gps. of wires.
