Description

The starting bellows expansion joint (SSC) is a single—use device that compensates for the installation and starting movements of the pipeline during initial heating. After actuation, the ends of the starting expansion joint are welded, and the section operates as stationary.

SSC is used for duct-free and pre-insulated (ППУ) laying of heating networks, where it is required to compensate for a one-time starting movement without installing permanent expansion joints. The bellows is enclosed by a rigid telescopic casing.

OnePROM manufactures the SSC according to the site parameters: diameter, starting stroke and temperature. Please send us a questionnaire or a wiring diagram for the selection.

How we work

Selection

We receive the questionnaire or specification and select the type and parameters.

Calculation and quotation

We calculate the compensating capacity and prepare a quotation.

Manufacturing

We manufacture the expansion joint to project parameters under quality control.

Delivery and installation

We ship to site and, where required, provide installation, installation supervision and commissioning.

Frequently asked questions

What is SSC and where is it used?

A one-time starting expansion joint for installation and starting movements during the laying of heating networks. It is used for: duct-free laying of heating networks, main heating pipelines, pre-insulated pipelines (PUF), installation and commissioning, urban heating networks, technological steam pipelines.

What diameters, pressure, and temperature does the SSC allow?

The SSC is manufactured to meet the parameters of the facility: nominal diameter of 100-1000 mm (up to 3000 mm on request); working pressure up to 25 kgf/cm2; higher on request; temperature up to +150 °C; working medium — water, steam, gas, petroleum products and other non-aggressive media.
