U.S. Bellows custom designed these universal gimbal expansion joints for an oil refinery in Canada. The bellows and liners are fabricated from 304 stainless steel, and the remainder of the components are fabricated from carbon steel. The units are 102″ and 133″ long respectively, and both are 41.5″ wide, 41.75″ tall, with 32″ OD.
