this is the reason for which I was trying to consider the acting of lateral tied bellows located in order to use the lateral displacement instead of the axial movement of the open bellow...in this way I am sure that the thrust will be projected only to ties while on nozzle I will find the effect...
here is a scheme
pump + exp joint (open bellow) and a part of pipe with a pipe lock.
Thrust force is the red Arrow; the right one acts on the pipe lock, the left Arrow? does it act directly on Pump's nozzle (green circle) or it works on the baseplate of the pump (red circle)?
And, when I check...
Thanx bimr!
but the open bellows is installed at the nozzle itslef, so it is located between pump's nozzle and the pipe anchor, so ok regarding pipe side, we have the anchor and the thrust is solved on pipe side, but what about at pump side? If I check the caesar2 results on nozzle I will found...
Hi!
in my opinion the use of expansion joint can be useful when:
- you have high temperature and a piping routing with limited space..so you cannot introduce flexibility by working on the piping routing
- you have very low allowables at connection to be respected
But the starting point is...
Hi to everybody,
my name il Lorenzo, I am an Italian Aeronautic Engineer working in piping stress analysis since 2006. It is a plesure to take part at this interesting forum hoping to meet nice engineers and attending interesting topics.
My first topic, and sorry if it is not in the right...
