Metal compensator installation method

1. Before installing the metal compensator, its model, specification and pipeline configuration should be checked to ensure that they meet the design requirements.


Complete installation method of metal compensator:

1. Before installing the metal compensator, its model, specification and pipeline configuration should be checked to ensure that they meet the design requirements.

2. For compensators with inner sleeves, care should be taken to ensure that the direction of the inner sleeve is consistent with the flow direction of the medium, and the hinge rotation plane of the hinge type compensator should be consistent with the displacement rotation plane.

3. For compensators that need to be "cold tightened", the auxiliary components used for pre-deformation should not be removed until the pipeline is installed.

4. It is strictly forbidden to use the method of deforming the corrugated compensator to adjust the installation tolerance of the pipeline, so as not to affect the normal function of the compensator, reduce its service life and increase the load on the piping system, equipment and supporting components.

5. During the installation of the metal compensator, welding slag is not allowed to splash onto the surface of the corrugated shell, and the corrugated shell is not allowed to be subjected to other mechanical damage.

6. After the piping system is installed, the yellow auxiliary positioning components and fasteners on the corrugated compensator used for installation and transportation should be removed as soon as possible, and the limit device should be adjusted to the specified position according to the design requirements so that the piping system has sufficient compensation capacity under environmental conditions.
