Overview
Hastelloy® is a special alloy with superior chemical compatibility. With the capability of manufacturing bellows from Hastelloy, applications with highly specialized and corrosive media can now benefit from bellows. Pharmaceutical, process and chemical equipment requiring high vacuum or positive pressure use edge welded bellows to ensure high accuracy and repeatable results.
Edge welded bellows offer high stroke capability in comparison to other bellows. This can reduce the size of the required bellows as well as the cost. Bellows made from Hastelloy can be designed as a mechanical seal, expansion joint, volume compensator, or actuator.
With the flexibility to customize, BellowsTech can manufacture and weld custom fittings, flanges, and weld rings to its bellows to make customer installations easy and seamless.
