Hinged Expansion Joints






                         Designed for a Pipeline






















                         U.S. Bellows designed this hinged expansion




                         joint for a pipeline in Mexico. Hinged Pipe




                         Expansion Joints contain hinges or pivots




                         which allow the unit to bend in a single plane.




                         These units are designed to restrict axial




                         deflection, either in extension or compression.




                         The hinge mechanism is typically designed to




                         accept full pressure thrust.
