1、Designation: F2934 12 (Reapproved 2018) An American National StandardStandard Specification forCircular Metallic Bellows Type Expansion Joint for HVACPiping Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2934; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year ofo

2、riginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification establishes the minimum require-ments for

3、 the mechanical design, manufacture, inspection andtesting of circular metallic bellows-type expansion joints usedto absorb the dimensional changes resulting from pipingthermal expansion or contraction, as well as the movements ofterminal equipment and supporting structures.1.2 Additional or better

4、features, over and above the mini-mum requirements set by this specification, are not prohibitedby this specification.1.3 The layout of many piping systems provides inherentflexibility through natural changes in direction so that anydisplacements produce primarily bending or torsional strains,within

5、 acceptable limits. Where the system lacks this inherentflexibility the designer should then consider adding flexibilitythrough the use of metallic bellows-type expansion joints.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalc

6、onversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and en

7、vironmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Stan

10、ointexpansion joint consisting oftwo bellows joined by a common connector.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe common connector is anchored tosome rigid part of the installation by means of an anchor base.The anchor base may be attached to the common connectoreither at installation or at time of manufacture. This

11、anchorbase is an intermediate anchor and is not usually designed towithstand the full thrust load of the piping run. The dualexpansion joint is installed in the middle of the piping run andthe thrust is directed to the middle. Each bellows acts as asingle expansion joint and absorbs the movement of
