What are the types of bellows?
Bellows are mainly divided into metal (stainless steel, carbon steel) bellows and plastic bellows. Metal bellows are mainly used to compensate for pipeline thermal deformation, shock absorption, and absorb pipeline settlement deformation, and are widely used in petrochemical, instrumentation, aerospace, chemical, electric power, cement, metallurgy and other industries. Bellows made of other materials such as plastics play an irreplaceable role in media transportation, power threading, machine tools, home appliances and other fields.

A tubular elastic sensitive element connected by foldable corrugated sheets along the folding and stretching direction. Its open end is fixed, the sealed end is in a free state, and an auxiliary spiral spring or reed is used to increase elasticity. When working, it stretches along the length of the tube under the action of internal pressure, causing the movable end to produce a displacement that is related to the pressure. The movable end drives the pointer to directly indicate the size of the pressure. Bellows are often combined with displacement sensors to form pressure sensors with electrical output, and are sometimes used as isolation elements. Since the extension of the bellows requires a large volume change, its response speed is lower than that of the Bourdon tube. Bellows are suitable for measuring low pressures.
