KE-Burgmann-EJS Metal Expansion Joints Offer Reliability, Long-term Value

Expansion joints are flexible connections installed in piping and ducting systems to accommodate thermal expansion and/or vibration caused by changes in temperature, pressure, media and more. With more than 45 years of experience, KE-Burgmann-EJS is one of the most experienced and innovative expansion joint manufacturers worldwide.  As a Freudenberg company, KE-Burgmann-EJS handles the design, manufacture, technical support and service of its metal expansion product line.


Bellows Design

A key feature and basic element of these expansion joints is the bellows. The design of the bellows is predominately determined by movement, pressure, temperature, service life, materials and corrosion.


Bellows are manufactured by forming corrugations, or convolutions, in thin-walled metal cylinders. 

These cylinders can then be inserted inside each other to form multi-ply bellows.  All bellows are formed in their cold state, with optional heat treatment performed afterwards if applicable.


The bellows, like those found in the EagleBurgmann MBS682 seals, provide flexibility of movement and are designed to absorb axial compression (up to 50%), lateral offset (±20%) and angular movement.


Testing

Welding integrity and product quality can be verified with various non-destructive tests and are carried out in-house or externally with supervision. Tests include:

  • Dye Penetration
  • Magnetic Particle
  • Helium Leak
  • X-ray
  • Ultra Sonic
  • Pressure
