Custom Metallic Bellows for Gas Compression Trains

Challenge:

A major EPC contractor required high-performance expansion joints for a new gas compression facility operating under high pressure and temperature. The bellows needed to handle axial and lateral movement, accommodate cyclic thermal loads, and withstand corrosive sour gas conditions — all under a tight project schedule.

Solution Provided:

Why FlexiBel:

• In-house design capability for high-pressure expansion joints
• Rapid turnaround from design approval to dispatch (within 3 weeks)
• Local manufacturing ensured compliance with project delivery timelines
• All QA/QC documentation including PMI and hydrostatic testing submitted with delivery

Result:

The expansion joints were successfully installed without modification. System testing showed no leaks or misalignment. The project team reported zero issues during commissioning and appreciated the technical support provided by FlexiBel’s engineering team during fabrication and installation.
