Product Description
Features:- Optimum functionality
- Minimum maintenance
- Longer serving life
Functionality:
- Single or double line bellows assembly is connected with the balancing bellows with the help of tie rods or bars. This helps in restraining the axial and compressive thrust that is caused due to internal pressure
- It also allows free lateral movement

FAQ's of Indiaflex Pressure Balance Bellows:
Q: How are Indiaflex Pressure Balance Bellows installed in pipeline systems?
A: Indiaflex Pressure Balance Bellows can be installed using various end connections, including flanged or welded ends. The selection of end connection style depends on the pipeline design and customer requirements, enabling secure and leak-proof integration into existing or new installations.
Q: What makes Indiaflex Pressure Balance Bellows suitable for corrosive environments?
A: Manufactured using stainless steel (SS 304, SS 316), Inconel, or Hastelloy, these bellows provide superior corrosion resistance. Their robust material construction ensures reliable performance and longevity even when exposed to aggressive chemicals commonly encountered in petrochemical, chemical, and refinery applications.
Q: When should pressure balance bellows be used in industrial pipelines?
A: Pressure balance bellows are recommended when pipelines experience significant axial movement, vibration, or high-pressure conditions-especially in large-diameter lines. They are particularly beneficial in environments requiring mitigation of mechanical stress and preservation of structural integrity, such as power plants and gas distribution networks.
Q: Where can Indiaflex Pressure Balance Bellows be applied?
A: These bellows are versatile and used in a variety of industrial settings including petrochemical plants, power stations, oil refineries, chemical processing units, gas distribution pipelines, and water supply lines, where managing pipeline movement and vibration is essential.
Q: What is the process for customizing Indiaflex Pressure Balance Bellows?
A: Customization begins with an assessment of pipeline requirements, including size (50-3000 mm diameter), operating conditions, and preferred material. Indiaflex then designs and fabricates the bellows as per EJMA and ASME standards, ensuring specific dimensions, movement capabilities, and end connections to meet unique project specifications.
Q: How do pressure balance bellows enhance safety and performance?
A: These bellows absorb and balance axial, lateral, and angular movements, minimizing vibration and mechanical stress. By doing so, they reduce pipeline fatigue, prevent leaks, and ensure safe, efficient operation across a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions.
Q: What are the benefits of the high-polish surface finish on these bellows?
A: A polished surface finish not only improves the bellows' aesthetic appeal but also enhances corrosion resistance by reducing the likelihood of dirt or chemical residue adherence, thereby simplifying inspection and maintenance.
