FLEXIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN STORAGE TANK AND MANIFOLD We provide a comprehensive range of Stainless Steel Expansion Joints for tank farm applications. Tank Farm Bellows are specially designed as a flexible connection between storage tanks and manifolds absorbing movements due to tank settlement. Highly customised design This type of Expansion Joints looks like standard Expansion Joints, but they are specially designed for this particular application which requires a high reliability during the entire service life of the storage tank. ADDED VALUE Tank Farm Bellows provide: • A reliable alternative to VJ couplings • Reduced chance on unwanted spills • Absorb large movements; both lateral and angular • Extended service life • Easy replacement with flanges and the build-in length can be customised • Guarantees a 100% clear bore and no disturbance of flow for the medium due to the specially designed integrated inner sleeve
