This single tied expansion joint is custom designed with Inconel® 825 bellows with carbon steel flanges, liners and pipes. It is 76" I.D., 90" O.D. and is 31-1/2" long. It was designed for 1,900°F at 100 psig with 1" compression. A meshed expanded metal cover was installed to allow for hot air to escape. Tests performed included a 100% dye penetrant, x-ray, and ultrasonic on pressure bearing welds. Finished units were hydro-tested at 1.5 times the design pressure. The expansion joints were designed with an inner liner to accommodate for easier field installation of refractory lining.
