Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between 316L and 316 stainless steel for expansion joints?
A: 316L has a lower carbon content (max 0.03%) compared to 316 (max 0.08%), which reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, making 316L more suitable for welded bellows and environments that require superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich conditions. -
Q: Can this expansion joint be used in high-temperature steam lines?
A: Yes, our 316L expansion joint can operate up to 400°C (depending on pressure and design). For higher temperatures, we recommend consulting our engineering team for a custom solution with internal insulation or alternative materials. -
Q: Does the product come with a certificate of compliance or material test report?
A: Yes, we provide a material certificate (EN 10204 3.1) and a hydrostatic test report upon request. Our ISO9001 quality system ensures full traceability. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for standard sizes?
A: For standard DN sizes (e.g., DN50-DN300), the lead time is approximately 15-20 working days. Custom sizes or special pressure ratings may require 25-30 working days. Please confirm with our sales team. -
Q: Can I get a custom connection type, such as a flanged end with a specific drilling pattern?
A: Absolutely. We offer flanges according to ANSI B16.5, DIN EN 1092, JIS B2220, or other standards. Just provide the required dimensions and drilling template. -
Q: Is the expansion joint suitable for underground or outdoor installation?
A: Yes, the 316L material provides excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance. For underground use, we recommend additional protective coating or wrap to prevent external damage. We can discuss options based on your specific environment. -
Q: How do I determine the correct size and movement requirement for my application?
A: Our technical team can assist you with the calculation based on pipe length, thermal expansion coefficients, anchor points, and allowable stresses. We also provide a free sizing worksheet. Contact us with your system parameters. -
Q: Do you offer samples for testing before bulk order?
A: Yes, sample orders are welcome. We can produce a small batch or even a single unit for evaluation. Shipping charges will apply, and the sample cost can be deducted from a future bulk order.
