Corrugated tube expansion joints

Corrugated tube expansion joints are single or multi-layer stainless steel expansion joints with higher expansion absorption and lower spring rates. Corrugated tube expansion joints are used e.g. in exhaust, district heating and blast furnace pipe work, in mechanical, appendix and apparatus engineering as well as in industrial or sprinkler installations.
