Tied axial expansion joints
The tied axial expansion joints are made of one single bellows element with end connections plus a tie rod system.
Regardless of accessories, such as liners and covers, this model absorbs all types of movements in any length of piping but it is mainly used to absorb axial movements and small amounts of lateral movement.
Features
Absorbs axial and small amounts of lateral and angular movements if provided with only 2 tie rods. Tied axial expansion joints may restrain the pressure thrust
Tied Axial Metal Expansion Joints - Flanged

What are the primary functions of tied axial expansion joints?
Tied axial expansion joints are designed to absorb primarily longitudinal movements in piping systems. They consist of a single bellows element with end connections and a tie rod system that limits the movement to axial directions while allowing for thermal expansion and contraction. This makes them ideal for applications where space constraints are a consideration.
How do tied axial expansion joints differ from other types of expansion joints?
Tied axial expansion joints are specifically engineered to handle axial displacements while providing resistance to lateral and angular movements. Unlike other types of expansion joints, such as radial or lateral expansion joints, tied axial joints utilize a tie rod system to maintain their alignment and prevent excessive movement in undesired directions. This design ensures a more controlled response to thermal stresses in the system.
In what applications are tied axial expansion joints most commonly used?
Tied axial expansion joints are commonly used in applications involving piping systems, especially in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. Their ability to accommodate thermal expansion while maintaining system integrity makes them suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
