Stainless Steel Bellows Expansion Joints & Compensators

We supply a wide variety of stainless steel bellows expansion joints & compensators, including:

• Universal, angular, lateral and axial bellows
• Gimbal and hinged bellows
• Rectangular, pressure balanced and externally pressurised expansion joints

These specially engineered components absorb lateral, axial and angular movements. They are vacuum and pressure-tight, corrosion resistant and maintenance free.

Designed for a wide range of conditions in which ducting systems, pipework, pressure vessels, etc., are subjected to high stresses due to vibration, thermal expansion, misalignment or pipe movement, metallic expansion joints are frequently used to compensate for thermal expansion in pipes carrying steam, water, gases and oils.

Stainless steel bellows expansion joints and compensators are widely used in heating & ventilation systems and vehicle exhaust pipes as well as in the petrochemical and power generation industries. Metallic expansion joints and hoses are also available in duplex, super duplex, Avesta and Carpenter stainless steel, and Inconel, Hastelloy and Incoloy alloys.

Rubber Bellows Expansion Joints

We offer Mason / Mercer's extensive range of rubber bellows expansion joints, constructed from a wide variety of materials such as EPDM, natural and gum rubber, Neoprene, Chloroprene and Hypalon to name only a few.

Models and options include single and double-sphere, Kevlar reinforced, flanged or no-flanged pullout design, single or multiple arches, extra high movement or anti-vibration, and operating temperatures as high as 200 deg C.

Special linings including Viton or PTFE for expansion joints that will be used with chemicals and solvents are available, as are food grade linings. Flanges are to DIN/PN, SAE 300, BS10, ANSI/ASA and JIS standards.

Stainless Steel Convoluted Hose Assemblies

We manufacture an extensive range of stainless steel hose products that can meet any requirements for environment, temperature, pressure, media and flexibility.

Our stainless steel convoluted hose assemblies are available in a nominal bore range from .25 inch (6 mm) to 8 inches (200 mm), and with flanged or threaded fittings. Features include vibration eliminators and heat traced "Hose-Within-a-Hose".

A number of options are available, including internal PTFE or strip-wound linings, thermal insulating glass fibre sleeving or protective coil springs.

Our assemblies are all manufactured to conform with quality standards; generally BS6501 Part 1 and BS5750. We can also provide complete assemblies to specifications for quality assurance to BS669, ISO9001, Lloyd's and MOD DEFSTAN 05-91, etc.

Stainless Steel Pump Connectors

Interflex stainless steel pump connector hoses have been designed to suppress noise, absorb vibration, and accommodate lateral misalignment, thermal movement or building settlement in pipework systems utilising pumps or compressors. They are constructed of stainless steel corrugated tubing surrounded by stainless steel overbraid, with TIG welded end fittings of carbon or stainless steel.

A variety of end fittings are available, including threaded BSP taper male hexagon or half barrel screwed fittings and flanged assemblies to BS10, BS4504 and ANSI/ASA standards.

Nominal bore sizes range from 12 mm (1/2 inch) to 200 mm (8 inches) and maximum working pressures at 120 deg C range from 6.5 bar (95 PSI) to 86 bar (1245 PSI).

Supaflex

We can provide a selection of high quality components from our Supaflex range. Just some of the products we have to offer include chemical dosing pots, flexible rubber bellows connectors, buffer vessels and low loss headers, as well as many more. Customers can visit the website to view further information on all of the products within our Supaflex range, this includes technical details, sizes and diagrams. Alternatively, you can contact us directly by phone or email. 

Trellex Dust Control

Dust within the workplace can be a dangerous health issue, affecting many. Trellex can provide an innovative dust control system which works with many different machines to completely reduce the levels of dust they generate. As well as providing a protection against dust, this system can also reduce noise levels, in some cases by up to 12 decibels. For more information, including detailed specifications, don't hesitate to visit the website. Alternatively, you can contact us directly by phone or email. 

PTFE

The anti-stick, superior strength and non-aging properties of PTFE, as well as its superb chemical resistance, make it a perfect material for use in bellows expansion joints, smoothbore and convoluted hose assemblies and as an optional internal lining in our stainless steel hose assemblies.
Some of our products utilising PTFE include:

• "Invincible" Spool Arch Style Expansion Joints
• Flanged Single & Multi-Arch Joints
• 700 Series - PTFE Lined Rubber Joints
• 800 Series - All PTFE Multi-Arch fixed-dimension Joints which provide excellent service in relatively low temperatures. These are especially popular in the chemical industry.

Air Spring Rubber Bellows

Air spring rubber bellows are used in wide range of applications such as vehicle suspension systems, isolation mounts, pneumatic or hydraulic actuation, and height and level control devices as well as noise reducers.

We offer rubber air spring bellows assemblies in single, double or triple convolution models from Pneuride, Goodyear, Springride, Firestone, Taurus, Contitech, Oria, Dunlop, Parker, Norgren, Enidine, Pirelli Torpress and Phoenix.

Fan Coil & Chilled Ceiling Hoses

All hoses are subjected to a sample BSRIA life cycle test and are available with quick release couplers.

Composite Hoses for Oil, Chemical or Cryogenic Service

Our comprehensive selection of hoses includes braided hoses in stainless steel, bronze or Monel. Inner cores of PTFE or stripwound linings are available, as is protective stripwound sleeving. With a wide range of sizes and pressure ratings ranging from full vacuum to 3700 PSI, these hoses are particularly suitable for use with oils, solvents, resins and corrosive media. Their operating temperature range include sub-zero operation conditions, making, them suitable for cryogenic applications.

We also offer composite Trellex Slurry Hose designed for use with hydraulic pressure for the suction of abrasive slurries. Optional Trellex 3xD Bends are available in 45 or 90 degree angles for situations such as cramped spaces where regular Trellex Hose cannot be sufficiently curved.

Here at Interflex, we also design and manufacture top quality metallic expansion joints and hoses from exotic alloys. We use a range of top quality materials such as Monel, Bronze, Duplex, Super Duplex, Titanium, Inconel, Incoloy, Hastelloy, Avesta and Carpenter.

Metallic expansion joints are widely used in piping systems to absorb differential thermal expansion and vibration whilst containing the system pressure. They are used in a range of industry applications such as petrochemical plant, refineries, power stations, district heating installations, HVAC systems and more.

Our highly engineered metallic expansion joints can be created to customer specifications.
 

Stainless Steel Exhaust & Decoupling Automotive Bellows

Our highly skilled and experienced engineers also manufacture high quality, stainless steel exhaust and decoupling automotive bellows. These are widely used for the decoupling of engine movements and vibrations and are designed for universal use in the exhaust system.
