DOCUMENTATION SHEET General
Our rubber bellows are made from various elastomers and provide the flexible element in pipe
Rubber Bellows work that is indispensable in today's technically advanced plant and machinery spaces.
Type 3K Red By using the best quality proven rubber compounds and a construction based on many years
of experience, our rubber bellows are produced to a high quality standard to guarantee maxi-
mum safety and performance.
Rubber bellows are used in various fields of industry like shipbuilding, offshore, dredging,
power plants, chemical industry, water works etc.
The rubber bellows provide:
· Compensation of thermal or mechanical movement of pipe work in axial, lateral and/or
angular directions.
· Absorption and isolation of vibration combined with damping of pipe work borne sound
transmission.
· Reduction of pressure pulses in pipe work.
· Compensation for pipe work misalignment on flexibly mounted installations.
Our program consists of rubber bellows with flanges, according all known standards as well as
special connections, and rubber and silicone bellows for installation with hose clamps.
Maximum temperature: +120°C

As an addition to the flanged bellow range our 3K and 3K2 rubber bellows have been de-
signed especially to provide small, low weight bellows which are both very flexible and simple
to install.
The 3K ranges accommodate misalignment, axial and lateral pipe work movements and dra-
matically reduce the transmission of noise, vibration and shock.
High tensile strength aramide cord plies combined with proven synthetic rubber mixes guaran-
tee maximum reliability and an extended working life.
The burst pressure safety factor is 5 times the working pressure of 4 Bar. The minimum work
pressure is 70 kPa ( abs ) and can be lowered by fitting a vacuum support ring. Average
installed insulation is about 25 dB, a figure which is further improved by compressed installa-
tion.
