Universal Tied Metal Expansion Joint
The main mission of the universal tied metal expansion joint (UST, UFT and UGT) is to absorb lateral and angular movements of both thermal and mechanical origin.
This metal expansion joint is composed of a single bellow of several waves in the form of “U”. These waves are made by one or more metal sheets longitudinally welded and hydraulically or mechanically shaped.
Due to its configuration, the designer must bear in mind that these models DO NOT transmit pressure stresses to the fixed points and guides of the piping system.

Universal Tied Metal Expansion Joint Applications
This is a typical application example for a universal metal expansion joint with tie rods installed in a Z-shaped three-plane elbow.
Use of a universal metal expansion joint with tie rods to absorb lateral movements in a single plane on a “Z” elbow.
