U.S Bellows, Inc. manufactured 10″ single tied titanium expansion joints to be utilized in a chemical plant in Kingsport, Tennessee. These single expansion joints are bellows elements with end connections that allow movement in any direction or plane. However, the piping must also be guided in the same direction of the movement. The tie rods restrain the full pressure thrust. These expansion joints were 100% dye-penetrant examined before being shipped to the customer
