WHAT IS A METAL BELLOWS ?
Metal bellows are produced starting with a welded tube
(seamless tube use is very rare), and mechanically or
hydraulically forming
“convolutions” in the
number and shape to
meet piping or ducting
system application
requirements Metal
bellows, as a detail
part, are rarely provided
to customers due to the “thin” material thickness which
requires specialized welding processes to attach the
bellows to pipe or flanges.

HOW METAL BELLOWS WORK
Movements
Metal bellows are designed to absorb thermal and / or
mechanical piping or ducting system movements while
retaining system operating pressure at the system temperature.
Bellows can absorb the following movements.
Torsion
9
PRESSURE THRUST
Understanding metal bellows pressure thrust
is extremely important.
10
METAL BELLOWS PRESSURE
RETAINING CAPABILITY
Metal bellows are designed to retrain loads imposed by internal
and / or external system pressure and / or test pressure. Bellows
convolution geometry, numbers
of convolutions, material type
and material thickness all affect
bellows pressure retaining
capability.
Squirm
11
BELLOWS PRESSURE
STRESSES
Pressure applied to a bellows is limited by “Hoop Stress”
(EJMA S2) and “Bulge Stress” (EJMA S4).
Hoop Stress runs circumferentually around the bellows resulting
from pressure differential between the inside and outside
diameter of the bellows. Hoop stress is what holds a bellows
together similar to hoop rings on a barrel. Hoop stress must be
held to code allowable levels.
Bulge Stress runs longitudinal to the bellows centerline acting
on the sidewall of the bellows convolutions. Bulge Stress is
also calculated to code.
12
METAL BELLOWS SPRING
RATE / FORCE
In addition to longitudinal pressure thrust loads, movement
within a bellows requires a “force” to cause the bellows to
compress, extend or angulate. Bellows “Spring rate” is a
design consideration. To calculate the load (force) imposed
on equipment adjacent to the expansion joint.
F = K· X
F - The load (force) imposed on equipment on either
side of the bellows.
13
METAL BELLOWS CYCLE LIFE
When a bellows compresses, extends or angulates, the movement
is absorbed by deformation of the side walls of the bellows
convolutions. The stress caused by the movement is referred to
as the bellows deflection bending stress (EJMA S6). This stress
is highest at the “crest” and “root” of the bellows convolution.
Metal bellows are designed to function with a deflection bending
stress value that far exceeds the yield strength of the bellows
material. Therefore, most metal bellows expansion joints are
designed to deflate in the “plastic” range of materials and the
b e l l o w s w i l l ta k e a permanent “set” at the rated bel l ow s
movements. Bellows are rarely designed to operate in the
elastic range of materials. Bellows operating in the plastics
material range will eventually fatigue after a finite number of
movement cycles. Realistic cycle life should be specified for
bellows design. As the chart on page 16 shows, the higher the
cycle life, the “weaker” the bellows
d e s i g n p r e s s u r e e c a p a b i l i t y.
The “safest” bellows design results
from real-world cycle life, pressure,
movement and temperature date.

BELLOW DESIGN VARIABLES
Refer to the chart on page 16. This chart shows the complexity
of bellows design with the relationship of bellows geometry,
material thickness, pressure and movement. Optimum bellows
design requires actual pressure and temperature to be
specified along with actual calculated thermal movement
to be absorbed by the bellows. Overstating system data will
result in a less safe bellows design.
17
COMMON BELLOWS
MATERIALS
Bellows material selection is determined through knowledge
of the system process and media. Responsibility for the
selection of bellows materials is that of the system process
designer or end user.

WHAT IS A METAL BELLOWS
EXPANSION JOINT ?
A convoluted metal bellows is one component of a metal
bellows expansion joint. When the metal bellows is welded
to pipe, flanges or other parts, the welded part
becomes a metal bellows expansion joint.

COMPONENT TERMINOLOGY
• Bellows – A metal tube with concentric convolutions
• Liner / Telescoping Liner – installed to prevent media flow
on bellows convolution, prevent erosion, flow induced
vibration and minimize solids buildup in convolutions.
• Cover – Installed to prevent damage to convolutions or
for external flow; to act as a liner above. Can be installed
with cover clips or solid cover ring.
• Flange – normally standard ANSI flanges.
• Van Stone Flange - Bellows is formed around flange face
and trimmed. Result is a “floating flange” with bellows
material protecting flange I.D.. Required gasket.
• Weld End – normally standard pipe.
• Tie Rod Lug – A lug to hold tie rod welded to flange or
weld end.
• Tie Rod Ring – A solid ring welded to weld end to hold tie rod.
• Tie Rod – Rods installed to restrain pressure thrust.
Lateral movement only.
• Control Rods – Control rods are not designed to restrain
bellows pressure thrust. Control rods are used to distribute
the applied movement between two bellows or a universal
expansion joint.
• Collar – Collars are used to reinforce the bellows
tangent (cuff).
• Root Rings – Root rings are used to reinforce bellows to
achieve higher internal pressures.

PIPING AND DUCTING
SYSTEM DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
When the use of expansion joints have been determined
necessary due to the thermal growth in a piping or duct
system, it is very important to attempt to keep the system as
simple as possible.
The first step is to analyze the system for the location of main
anchors. A complex system can be simplified by dividing the
system into several sections isolated with main anchors.
Once divided, the thermal growth pattern in each section can
be analyzed and the simplest expansion joint can be designed
to accommodate the required mountings.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Receiving Inspection
Visual inspection upon receipt should be performed. The container should
be opened and if the contents have been damaged, they should be
photographed along with the container. Large expansion joint assemblies
may be shipped without a pallet or container of any kind. Under all
circumstances, any shipping damage must be immediately reported to
Cu s t o me r Se rv ic e a t L ortz Manufacturing, 661-587-2020 and the
photographs emailed to customerservice@lortz.com. Lortz will analyze
the damage and provide further instructions.
Storage
Expansion Joints should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
However, as a minimum, expansion joints must be stored so that water
does not penetrate any closed container. Expansion joints shipped on
pallets or shipped without a pallet may be stored out of doors, however
it is extremely important that flow liners be in a downward position.
Expansion joints with overlapping flow liners, regardless of liner weep
holes, should be covered to prevent water from accumulating in the liner
and potentially clogging the weep holes.
Shipping Bars and / or Internal Shipping Restraints
Shipping bars and / or Internal shipping restraints will be painted yellow
and marked “Remove after Installation”.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE SHIPPING BARS OR INTERNAL RESTRAINTS
UNTIL THE EXPANSION JOINT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY INSTALLED.
• Do not use the expansion joint to correct for installation misalignment.
• Do not torque the expansion joint to correct for bolt hole misalignment.
• “Tie Rods”, “Limit Rods” or “Control Rods” are NOT shipping bars,
do not remove nuts or rods.
• Be very careful removing shipping bars so as not to cause weld spatter
or arc strikes or grinding damage to the bellows element. Position a
chloride free fire blanket as required to prevent bellows damage.
All expansion joints are shipped to specified “Pre-set” installation
dimensions and it is important that the expansion joints are installed
accordingly. The “Pre-set” can be Axial (compression or extension), or
Lateral, or Angular, or any combination thereof. Expansion Joints will be
shipped “Pre-set” in accordance with approved drawing requirements. If
the shipping bars are removed prior to completion of installation by bolting
or welding, the expansion joint may “move to a neutral position” and will
not function as designed and can cause premature or immediate
expansion joint failure.
36
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Installation
Prio r t o in s t a llin g the expansion joint, the opening into which the
expansion joint will be installed must be inspected to verify that the
opening is in accordance with design tolerances. As stated above, the
expansion joint is not designed to accommodate installation misalignment,
u n le s s c le a rly s p e cified as a design requirement. A ll pipe guides
and anchoring must be in accordance with the guidelines of the Standards
of the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association for expansion joints to
function properly in a piping or ducting system.
• DO NOT USE THE SHIPPING BARS TO LIFT THE EXPANSION JOINT.
• FOR EXPANSION JOINTS WEIGHING LESS THAN 500 POUNDS WITH
OUT LIFTING LUGS, USE THE MOST APPROPRIATE HANDLING
METHOD TO MOVE INTO INSTALLATION POSITION.
• EXPANSION JOINTS WEIGHING MORE THAN 500 POUNDS WILL BE
FURNISHED WITH LIFTING LUGS AND REQUIRE THE USE OF A
SPREADER BAR TO LIFT TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE EXPANSION
JOINT WHEN STANDARD LIFTING PRACTICES ARE EMPLOYED.
SPREADER BARS MUST BE USED SO THAT THE LIFTING FORCES
ARE “STRAIGHT UP” FROM THE LIFTING LUGS. IT IS SUGGESTED
THAT LIFTING OF LARGE EXPANSION JOINTS BE DOCUMENTED
BY PHOTOGRAPHS.
• NEVER USE A CHAIN OR CABLE OVER THE BELLOWS ELEMENT
OR COVER, THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT LIFTING AND
THE BELLOWS CAN BE SEVERELY DAMAGED.
Weld End Expansion Joints
1. Make certain that the attachment edges of the piping or ducting are
smooth, clean and parallel.
2. Be cautious of any adjacent objects with sharp edges or protrusions
so that when positioning the expansion joint the thin gage bellows
will not be damaged.
3. When the expansion joint has a liner, make certain that the flow arrow
of the expansion joint is in the system flow direction.
4. Prior to welding, protect the expansion joint with a chloride free fire
blanket to prevent weld spatter or arc strikes on the bellows surface.
5. Remove the shipping bars and / or internal restraints prior to any
testing or operation of the system.
