10 LOW TEMPERATURE EXPANSION JOINTS These DN 250 and DN 350 Inline Pressure Balanced Expansion Joints with internal limiters (also known as Finger Type Expansion Joints) are designed and manufactured for a nitrogen liquefier in Poland. Due to the special media the design temperature is -196°C to +20°C and the Expansion Joints are made entirely from 1.4404 (AISI 316L). Chemical plant Poland 2021-4921-05027

11 HIGH TEMPERATURE EXPANSION JOINTS Expansion Bellows designed for 900°C (1652°F). In this project temperature and flexibility were the main items of concern. Particularly challenging was the selection of material with sufficient resistance, strength and flexibility needed to ensure smooth and safe operation. The material selected were Alloy 188. This material belongs to the alloy family chosen for equipment used in super demanding applications in e.g., space exploration missions, such as equipment landing on Mars. This Alloy material family can withstand the high temperatures when entering the Martian atmosphere. Shipping industry Europe 2021-4721-01014
