Software for Computing Lenticular Compensators (Bellows)

Abstract:

Expansion joints are used in installations where axial or angular significant changes occur due to operating conditions: differences temperature, arching, vibration etc. Expansion compensation will take over the pipe stresses, preventing so their destruction. Lenticular compensators take pipe thermal expansions; metal compensators are use for take axial, lateral or angular displacement. This paper presents information regarding the lenticular compensators and calculation procedure of their geometrical characteristics, mainly the number of elements that composed them. An automatic calculation program ”CCRT - Comp Lent” (computing pipeline heating systems – lenticular compensation) was developed based on fundamental concepts in mechanical calculation of pipes and lenticular compensators. The algorithm of this program is based on determining the pipeline expansion, the total deformation and the number of the compensation required.
