EXPANSION JOINTS
Compentek is NUMBER ONE SOLUTION PROVIDER of EXPANSION JOINTS in Finland
Compentek is Finland’s leading supplier of expansion joints.
Over the decades, we have delivered thousands of projects
to process industry and energy production facilities.
Compentek designs Fabric panels for equalizing thermal movements and vibrations in ductwork, boilers and process industries.
Equipment such as fans, filters, turbos and conveyors are often connected to the process using fabric bellows. A special advantage of fabric beams is their suitability for many applications, from gas turbines to air pipes. In addition to compression and stretching, the fabric beams receive rotational movement, which e.g. metal bellows are unable to receive. With the help of the raised frame solution, fabric beams can be used to connect parts of processes with more than a thousand degrees. The size of the bellows can vary from a collar-mounted small DN100 pipe up to 15x5m boiler bellows. The materials vary depending on the conditions, from single-layer EPDM-coated fabric to almost 10-layer gas turbine bellows.
With the right design, knowledge of the conditions and the right material choices, we can design and deliver not only a long-lasting but also a very cost-effective fabric bellows solution to your process.
Fluachem 3N triple PTFE laminate bellows for aggressive gases.
- When choosing the bellows type and structure, e.g. the temperature and possible humidity of the gas or air passing through the duct. Gas-tight bellows types include e.g.
- Fluaflex© multi-layer construction, for hot exhaust gas and air ducts and process fans
- Fluachem© single/multi-layer structure for humid conditions and aggressive gases. Among other things, pipes, ducts, pipelines and fans. The materials are cross-laminated PTFE and elastomers such as Viton (FKM), EPDM, nitrile and butyl.
- Flexepdm© and Flexnit© single-layer elastomer bellows, e.g. for fans, also food approved
- Flexgns© for fans for wet gases. Layered and vulcanized EPDM rubber construction with integrated mounting flanges
- Fluastal© gas turbine bellows, up to 8 layers
- Flexpa© PVC fabric bellows straighteners, also food approved
Rubber bellows
Rubber bars are used typically in the transport of liquid, the thermal movement and/or vibration of the pipeline as equalizers. Our selection includes
1) Delivered from stock D-type standard rubber bellows with rotating flanges for pipes DN25 – DN700 (see below)
2) Made-to-order collared DFS rubber bellows for pipes DN50 – DN3000 and
3) Collared GNS connectors to fans for condensation gases
Made-to-order flanged DFS rubber bellows and GNS connectors
Made to measure from synthetic or natural rubber, DFS rubber bellows are manufactured at our factory in the Czech Republic and the bellows are baked in a large vulcanizing oven. DFS bellows can be rectangular or round up to a maximum diameter of 3.6m. A typical application for DFS rubber bars is a cooling water pipeline
(e.g. in connection with the blast furnace of a steel factory).
In fans (e.g. Fläkt, Koja, Ferrari) high-quality rubber GNS connectors are used on both the suction and pressure side, when there is a need to transport moist process or flue gases. The flanges of the GNS connector are vulcanized into the rubber, making the bellows easy and quick to install.

You can find the standard rubber bellows that suit your needs in the attached measurement table.

Metal bellows
Metal bellows are the largest group of bellows in terms of volume. The applications are diverse; they compensate for vibrations and thermal movements, e.g. in diesel engines, steel mills, chemical plants, power boilers, district heat transfer and oil refining.
The main difference to fabric bellows is that metal bellows can be designed to withstand the desired pressure. Compentek has long-term experience as a manufacturer of pressure-resistant metal bellows according to the PED directive.
As the name suggests, the flexible parts of multilayer metal bellows consist of several thin layers of stainless steel and are designed to withstand axial, lateral and angular movements as well as the desired pressure and process medium. Multi-layered metal bellows can be recognized by the dense wave-like elastic part. At its simplest, a multi-layer bellows is a ”curved tube” equipped with a welding end without a flow plate, flanges and support rods. Our more complex multi-layer bellows solutions are represented by e.g. pressure-balanced metal bellows and, for example, a 6-meter-long FCCU metal bellows equipped with masonry for catalytic cracking.
Single-layer beams made of carbon steel, ”stiffeners”, are often used in angular ductwork of power plants, which only compensate for axial movement. These have the options of a sharp 90° corner, a camera angle or a round corner. Round ducts can also be used with single-layer sheets made of 2-6mm thick sheet, so-called lentil bars.
