Working principle of metal ripple compensator

Metal compensators are used to compensate the deformation of pipes, containers, etc. when the temperature and pressure change. The reason why the compensator can play the role of compensating displacement, reducing vibration and noise, and its main component bellows. So the metal compensator is also called "ripple compensator".

When pipes or equipment undergo thermal expansion due to temperature changes, the bellows of the metal compensator will expand to absorb the thermal stress. Conversely, when contracted, the bellows will shrink or shorten to release the absorbed thermal stress. The whole process of expansion and stretching is similar to the expansion and stretching movement of a spring. The corresponding displacement load will be generated when the pipeline system is subjected to thermal expansion and cold contraction. The load is transferred to the bellows through the end pipe, bracket and other accessories. The elastic deformation of the bellows under load can compensate the displacement and reduce the stress concentration and deformation of the pipeline system.

The structural part of the metal compensator is used as a component part, and the corrugated pipe is composed of different specifications. The structure is diverse and the way of compensating displacement is flexible. In the selection of the need to be with the pipeline fixed support, support hanger and other supporting comprehensive selection.
