The compensator is also called extender, expansion joint and ripple compensator. There are several types of compensators: corrugated compensator, sleeve compensator, rotary compensator, square natural compensator, etc. Among them, corrugated compensator is more commonly used, and compensator is mainly used to guarantee the safe operation of pipeline, with the following functions:
1.Compensate the thermal deformation of the absorption pipe in axial, transverse and angular directions.
2.Expansion of corrugated compensator to facilitate installation and removal of valve pipe.
3.Absorb equipment vibration and reduce the impact of equipment vibration on pipelines.
4.Absorb the deformation of the pipeline caused by earthquake and subsidence.
