Product catalog summary
Applications
The SF-13 steel expansion joint is designed for axial expansion in pipe systems ranging from DN 20 to DN 1200. It is vacuum-proof and consists of two stainless steel bellows with welded flanges. The joint is suitable for compensating large axial movements in long pipe routings, industrial applications, and heating installations.
Specifications
The expansion joint features guide sleeves for stabilization, though they do not replace pipe guide bearings. It is available in single or multi-ply structures with multiple convolution bellows in various stainless steel grades. Flanges are welded, with turned seals up to DN 250, and drilled for through bolts.
Materials
Standard materials for the connecting pipe include 1.0345 (P235GH), 1.0038 (S235JR), and 1.4541, with options for stainless steel. Corrosion protection is standard with anti-corrosion priming, with special varnish available upon request. Guide sleeves are typically made from 1.4541 stainless steel.
Special Design and Certificates
Custom sizes, lengths, or pressure ratings are available upon request. The product is certified under CE (PED 2014/68/EU).
Accessories
Optional accessories include a protective tube.
Technical Instructions
Users must comply with general technical instructions regarding reaction force, moving force, fixed point load, and installation instructions. Technical alterations and deviations may occur due to the manufacturing process.
Material Grades and Temperature Resistance
Stainless steel grades such as 1.4541, 1.4404, and 1.4571 are suitable for temperatures ranging from -196°C to +550°C, depending on the medium. Applications include low temperature, acids, lyes, gases, fertilizers, media containing chloride, oil, soap, drinking water, foodstuff, and petrol.
Pressure Ratings
The standard pressure programs are PN 10 and PN 16.
Data Sheet Highlights
The data sheet provides detailed specifications for various DN sizes, including axial movement, axial spring rate, effective bellows cross-sectional area, and flange dimensions. For example, DN 125 has a total axial movement of 28 mm and an axial spring rate of 40 N/mm.
