Metal hose joints and corrugated compensators are common parts in everyday life, but do you know any differences between the two? The following as a professional manufacturer of metal hoses will sort out the following points for everyone, I hope it can be helpful to everyone:

         First, the structure is different. The components of metal soft joints are mainly corrugated pipes, flanges, piping and external nets, which play an effective sound damping effect on thermal expansion absorption, piping movement and vibration absorption. Metal soft joints cannot be used to compensate pipelines. Displacement amount; bellows compensator is composed of a deflector, a bellows, a flange, and a connection tube. Its role is to compensate the displacement amount caused by temperature changes in the pipeline, so as to ensure the operation of the pipeline.
Second, the connection methods are different. Generally, there are two types of connection methods for bellows compensators, namely flange connection and tube connection. In addition to flange connection and tube connection, the connection method of metal flexible joints also involves clamp connection, thread connection, etc. The piping installation matches.

        Third, the content provided is different. Flexible metal joints need to provide accurate lengths, which can be customized according to the required length of the pipeline, while the content of the corrugated tube compensator is to provide accurate compensation amounts, and use this as the basis for calculating the amount of corrugations.
Fourth, the upper limit of the caliber is different. The diameter of the metal hose does not exceed 600mm, and the maximum diameter of the corrugated compensator is 7000mm, which can be produced according to the diameter provided by the user.
