The type SF-16 steel compensator from Stenflex is a bellows device that absorbs axial movement in piping systems, reduces stress, cushions vibration and muffles noise. It can be used to solve thermal expansion or other problems whereverissues pipework suffers from movement, stress or vibration.
The SF-16 has a short overall length, which makes it a prime choice when space is restricted, and it is stable under vacuum conditions, its construction allows it to withstand crevice corrosion, so it is ideal for use in chemical plants, exhaust systems, heating systems, and utility networks for the supply of drinking water, process water or natural gas. The SF-16 is ...
