Compensator Accessories

Compensator accessories relate to compensators that absorb movement, vibration and stress in pipework. The available information describes connections and installation functions, but does not identify a separate accessory range.

A compensator consists of an elastic bellows and a connecting element such as a flange. Accessories therefore support the connection, sealing or installation around this flexible element; individual accessory product types are not specified.

The associated compensators are used in pipelines and at pumps, valves and equipment. They compensate for thermal expansion, mechanical and acoustic vibration and stress, and may accommodate installation inaccuracies or seal wall penetrations.

First establish how the compensator connects and which movement it must absorb. Then check the installation position, sealing requirement and interface with flanges or pipe components. Correct sizing and installation are necessary for the intended function.

Category attributes: interfaces with bellows and flanges, with installation and sealing functions; separate accessory materials, dimensions and standards are not specified.

Frequently asked questions

Compensator accessories support connection, sealing or installation around a compensator. No individual accessory types are identified, so the function of each item must be matched to the selected compensator and pipe connection.

A flange can form the connecting element of a compensator. Check that the accessory suits the flange interface, installation position and required seal.

The compensator itself may accommodate installation inaccuracies within permitted tolerances. The available information does not specify an accessory for this task, so accessories should not be treated as a substitute for correct alignment.

No standards are stated for separate accessories. Align the selection with the standard and connection of the associated compensator and pipe components.
