The universal corrugated compensator belongs to a type of compensation component. By utilizing the effective expansion and contraction deformation of its working body corrugated tube, it can absorb dimensional changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction of pipelines, conduits, containers, etc., or compensate for axial, lateral, and angular displacements of pipelines, conduits, containers, etc. It can also be used for noise reduction and vibration reduction.
Here are the key points we make in our daily work regarding the installation of compensators :
1. It is strictly prohibited to use the method of deformation of corrugated compensators to adjust the installation of pipelines beyond tolerance, in order to avoid affecting the normal function of compensators, reducing their service life, and increasing the load on pipeline systems, equipment, and supporting components.
2. After the installation of the piping system is completed, the yellow auxiliary positioning components and fasteners used for installation and transportation on the corrugated compensator should be removed as soon as possible, and the limit device should be adjusted to the specified position according to the design requirements, so that the piping system has sufficient compensation ability under environmental conditions.
3. During the hydrostatic test, the secondary fixed pipe bracket at the end of the pipeline equipped with a compensator should be reinforced to prevent the pipeline from moving or rotating. Attention should be paid to whether temporary supports need to be added during water filling for compensators and their connecting pipelines used for gas media. The 96% chloride ion content of the cleaning solution used for hydrostatic testing shall not exceed 25PPM.
4. The insulation material in contact with the compensator bellows should not contain chlorine Ripple compensator is a type of compensation component.
