Brief Introduction of Welding Bellows Industry Application
Double-sealed design of
welded vacuum bellows If the bellows fails, the valve stem packing will also avoid
leakage and meet international sealing standards; no fluid loss, reducing
energy loss, improving plant equipment safety; long service life, reducing
maintenance times, and reducing operating costs The rugged and durable bellows
seal design guarantees zero leakage of the valve stem and provides
maintenance-free conditions; the welded bellows gas medium valve seat adopts
PTFE soft sealing material to improve the seal of the valve; the high
temperature resistance ≤425 ℃ seat adopts cone The surface is
hard-sealed.
Welded
corrugated pipe is a kind of highly flexible and flexible metal pipe made of
many thin hollow diaphragms formed by stamping and precision welding, as shown
in the figure. Its composition method consists of two shaped hollow diaphragms
that are welded on the inner edge in a concentric circle to form a diaphragm
pair, and a plurality of diaphragm pairs are stacked together and welded on the
outer edge to form a corrugated segment. Welding is combined into a corrugated
tube group, so that it can reciprocate with other moving parts according to
external needs.
With
the development of science and technology, the application field of welded
bellows is expanding day by day. The main use of welded bellows is as a
detection element of a control mechanism, transmitter or regulator. It can also
be used as a measurement element of temperature, pressure and liquid level, as
well as a variety of seals and energy transmission elements.
In
addition to being used as measuring elements, welded bellows can also be used
as sealing, connecting, compensating, and isolating elements, which have broad
application prospects in many fields.
1.
Instrument industry
Welded bellows are mainly
used as pressure measuring elements in measurement and control instruments, and
can be used instead of capsule strings. Welded bellows can also be used as a
volume compensation element in a gyroscope, as a sealed isolation element in a
regulating valve, and as a flexible coupling, pressure switch, etc.
2. Aerospace field
Welded bellows are also used in the
aerospace industry. In addition to being used in some aircraft instruments,
welded bellows are also used in parachute automatic release pressure
regulators. In addition, it can also be used as a hinged door on a rocket
engine.
3. Electronics industry and other
industries
Welded
bellows are also used in electronic devices. For example: the klystron of a
satellite communication ground station uses a miniature welded corrugated tube
with an outer diameter of 10mm, an inner diameter of 5mm, and a wall thickness
of 0.05mm. It has also been valued by various users in its use as vacuum seals,
axial connectors, expansion joints, oil reservoirs, and accumulators.
The
sawtooth expander widely used in the power industry is also a typical
application example of welded bellows. Welded bellows actually play a role in volume
compensation here. The working coils of voltage transformers and current
transformers are immersed in insulating oil tanks. As the ambient temperature
and working current change, the temperature of the insulating oil varies
widely. Therefore, in a completely closed system, it is necessary to compensate
for the volume change caused by the thermal expansion and contraction of the
insulating oil.
Welded
bellows is a new type of component that has risen at home and abroad in recent
years. Welded bellows are generally used as sensitive components, sealing
components, isolation media, pipeline connections, and temperature
compensators. In addition to the advantages of pressure resistance, temperature
resistance, corrosion resistance and good sealing, welded bellows have two
outstanding advantages over traditional formed bellows: large amount of
deformation and long life.
The choice of welding
bellows material is very strict. In addition to high temperature and corrosion
resistance, the bellows must have sufficient rigidity. The product welding
technologies used or under development include tungsten inert gas shielded
welding, micro-beam plasma welding, power beam welding and laser welding, of
which micro-beam plasma welding and laser welding are more commonly used.
