Stainless Steel Compensators absorb thermal expansions and vibrations in the pipeline. The advantages of stainless steel compensators are among others that they significantly enhance the service life of pipelines and connected equipment.

Stainless Steel Compensators

Thermal expansions, vibrations, pressure thrust forces and/or indulgence in the foundation of settlement can be found in pipelines, depending on, and caused by, the media which is continuously running through it. The results of these factors are movements in the pipeline. If a pipeline cannot be constructed in a way that it absorbs the movements itself it is necessary to install flexible elements in the pipeline. A stainless steel compensator is the best solution when flexible elements for the pipeline is needed, as they allow movements and prevents damages in the pipeline.
