Linear type pressure regulator accordion connection; It is one of the most widely used types of accordion connection in the market, which is widely used in various fields. Are you familiar with accordion connections?
What is an accordion connection?
Unwanted movements in fluid transmission systems are normal. These movements sometimes occur due to temperature changes caused by the fluid or the environment. Sometimes there are various reasons, including the vibration of existing devices or movements caused by external factors such as wind and earthquakes, etc. are the main cause of these movements.
It is necessary to absorb the aforementioned movements and prevent their transfer to existing devices and pipelines. To do this important thing, they use flexible joints called accordion joints. Accordion joints are also known as shock absorbers, expansion joints and compensators.
The linear type pressure regulating accordion joint is an example of the most efficient accordion joint. How familiar are you with this connection?
Linear type pressure regulator accordion connection; A connection with many uses
The accordion connection is a linear type pressure regulator consisting of two or three flow blouses and an intermediate balancing blouse. It should be noted that the effective cross-sectional area of the middle blouse is twice that of the flow blouses. If you are looking for the bracing form of these connections, we have to tell you that when the current blouses are stretched, the restraints in the structure of this practical connection start to squeeze the balance blouse. On the other hand, when the current blouses are compressed, the harness pulls the balance blouse. Having said that, the axial spring factor of these blouses must be equal so that they can withstand the same movements.
The mentioned accordion joints have a significant design and can absorb axial, lateral and angular movements. In addition, these connections are able to eliminate thrust force without changing the direction of fluid flow. The use of linear type pressure adjusting accordion connection is common in places where it is not possible to create fixed points, just like knee joint.
