Extraordinary Engineering for Exceptional Quality
Metal expansion joints offer flexible solutions for thermal expansion, vibrations, and misalignments in industrial piping systems. Made from stainless steel and specialized alloys, metal expansion joints are resistant to high temperatures, pressures, and corrosion. They are widely used in power plants, petrochemical facilities, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
Metal expansion joints absorb axial, lateral, and angular movements, extending the lifespan of piping systems and preventing equipment failures. For example, they are commonly used in steam pipelines or exhaust systems. BundleTec’s expansion joints are custom-designed for each project, ensuring perfect compatibility with existing systems.
Why choose metal expansion joints? Because they enhance system reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and deliver long-lasting performance. Our expert team provides tailored solutions to make a difference in your projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical Specifications of Steel Expansion Joints
Steel expansion joints, particularly those made from stainless steel, deliver superior performance in industrial systems. These expansion joints can operate in high-pressure environments (e.g., 10 bar and above) and temperature ranges from -50°C to 600°C. Stainless steel expansion joints resist chemical agents and provide long-term durability in aggressive environments.
The main types of steel expansion joints include:
- Axial Expansion Joints: Absorb linear movements in pipelines, such as thermal expansion in steam pipes.
- Lateral Expansion Joints: Control movements in the horizontal plane, effective in vibration-prone systems.
- Angular Expansion Joints: Absorb circular movements, providing flexibility in piping systems.
- Bellows Expansion Joints: Support multi-directional movements, ideal for high-pressure systems.
BundleTec’s steel expansion joints are manufactured in compliance with international standards such as EN 13480 and ASME B31.3. Each expansion joint is custom-designed and tested for project-specific requirements. For instance, a steel expansion joint for a power plant can be reinforced with specialized alloys to withstand high temperatures and pressures.
Industrial Applications of Metal Expansion Joints
Metal expansion joints play a critical role in various industries. Below are some example applications:
- Power Plants: Absorb thermal expansion caused by steam from turbines. Steel expansion joints provide durability against high temperatures and pressures.
- Petrochemical Facilities: Corrosion-resistant metal expansion joints are used in pipelines transporting chemical substances.
- Shipbuilding: Custom-designed steel expansion joints reduce vibrations from ship engines.
- HVAC Systems: Metal expansion joints balance thermal movements in heating and cooling systems.
BundleTec offers customized metal expansion joint solutions for each industry. For example, an expansion joint designed for a petrochemical facility can be made from Inconel alloys to resist acidic environments, enhancing system reliability and reducing maintenance costs.
