INTRODUCTION / COMPANY HISTORY
FMH Expansion Joints, a division of Flexible Metal Hose Co.,
Tucker, Georgia, began fabricating bellows type expansion
joints in 1972. This product fit very well with the initial metal
corrugated hose products Flexible Metal Hose Co. had been
fabricating and manufacturing since 1954. This was a natural
progression based on the application of these products and
the related customer base. Over the years Flexible Metal
Hose Co. has manufactured a number of Expansion Joints
ranging from 1" in diameter to 120" diameter. These
Expansion Joints have been utilized in high pressure as well
as high vacuum service. The applications range from very low
cryogenics, to very high elevated temperatures, in a wide
range of industries, such as, Marine, Power, Petrochemical,
Pulp and Paper and HVAC, just to name a few. In order to
focus efforts in the expansion joint industry, Flexible Metal
Hose Co. has created a new division, FMH Expansion Joints. This new division provides a clearer definition of
our products along with an enhanced ability to service our customers. This new definition will continue to
enhance Flexible Metal Hose Co's position as the leader in designing solutions for flexibility, vibration absorp-
tion, expansion compensation and corrosion in piping systems. As always, our constant objective is customer
service and 100% satisfaction with no sacrifice to product quality and reliability.
Flexible Metal Hose Co., as the leader in the metal hose and expansion joint industry, was the first metal hose

DESIGN OF BELLOWS
The bellows is the flexible element of an expansion joint consisting of one or more convolutions and the end tan-
gents. This element is designed to absorb thermal movements that result from a change in temperature in a
piping system. A bellows may also be designed to absorb mechanical movements. The number of convolutions
in a bellows is a direct relationship to the amount of thermal or mechanical movement in the piping system,
and/or the force necessary to achieve this deflection.
The bellows is a very unique component of a piping system. It must be designed strong enough to accommo-
date the system design pressure, as well as, flexible enough to accept the design deflections for a calculated
number of occurrences, with a minimum resistive force.
The system pressure and deflection create the major stresses in a bellows. Typically the deflection stresses are
higher than the pressure stresses and are meridional or longitudinal in direction. These stresses are calculated
and evaluated in the Standards of the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association, Inc. or EJMA.
The pressure stresses include circumferential (hoop) stress in the bellows tangent as well as the convolutions.
EJMA defines the bellows tangent membrane stress due to pressure as S1. The bellows circumferential mem-
brane stress due to pressure is designated as S2 in the EJMA calculations. The tangent stress (S1) and
circumferential bellows stress (S2) must not exceed the maximum allowable stress, which is set by code or the
customer’s specification.
There are also meridional pressure stresses that are evaluated in the design of a bellows. The bellows meridion-
al membrane stress due to pressure is designated as S3 in the EJMA calculations. The other meridional stress
that is evaluated in EJMA is the bellows meridional bending stress due to pressure, or S4. If these meridional
stresses are exceeded, the convolution sidewall will be overstressed and this will lead to bellows failure.
EJMA uses a “Combined Stresses” technique to evaluate the approximate cycle life of a bellows. The stresses
involved are recorded in EJMA as S5, S6 & St. A cycle is defined as one complete movement, at pressure and tem-
perature, from the initial position of the bellows, to the operating position, and back to the initial position. Factors
that affect the fatigue life of a bellows are, operating pressure, operating temperature, bellows material, move-
ment per convolution, bellows thickness, convolution pitch, convolution height and shape, and bellows heat
treatment. Based on the evaluation techniques in EJMA, it is possible to predict the cycle life of a bellows rather
than cycling to failure.
Utilizing the above stresses and evaluation techniques, it is possible for the bellows designer to provide the opti-
mum bellows design that will handle the system pressure, remain stable, and provide a satisfactory service life.

BELLOWS SQUIRM
A bellows that is subjected to increasing internal pressure will reach a critical pressure at which the bellows
becomes unstable or squirms. This condition is very detrimental to the bellows function and can in some cases
lead to catastrophic failure. It is the bellows designer's duty to design a bellows that will remain stable under
design conditions as well as test conditions. An expansion joint can be pressure tested to assure that the unit
will not squirm in service. The standard pressure test is performed at one and a half times the operating pres-
sure. This pressure test is not mandatory per EJMA, therefore, the customer must specify if this test is required.
There are two types of squirm, column squirm and in-plane squirm. It is the responsibility of the piping system
designer to provide adequate anchoring, supporting, and guiding of the system in accordance with EJMA stan-
dards and good engineering practice. This will assure stability of the piping system including the bellows.
Column squirm is the condition in which a bellows exhibits an arch or curvature in its centerline. This condition
is mainly associated with bellows that have a relatively large length-to-diameter ratio. This condition can also be
exaggerated by a bellows that is subjected to lateral offset or angulation. This type of squirm is somewhat simi-
lar to the buckling of a loaded column. The EJMA calculation for squirm is based on the ends of the pipe run
being rigidly anchored and the piping being properly guided per EJMA.
In-plane squirm is the condition that occurs when one or more individual convolutions of a bellows shift or rotate
out of the plane perpendicular to the bellows longitudinal axis. This condition may seem like a tilting or warping
of one or more convolutions. This squirm condition is mainly associated with high meridional bending stresses.
BELLOWS PRESSURE THRUST

Pressure thrust is an often misunderstood characteristic of applying a bellows to a piping system. The pressure
thrust force is the result of the internal system pressure multiplied by the bellows effective area. This catalog pro-
vides the effective area for each bellows design. The system designer must account for the pressure thrust force,
and in the case where an expansion joint is to be installed in the piping system, this pressure thrust force war-
rants special consideration. The main concern is the fact that the bellows is a flexible component of the system.
Because of this flexibility, the bellows has a tendency to elongate as the pressure is increased, unless the piping
is anchored and guided properly. If the ends of the expansion joint are not restrained, this force is only resisted
by the bellows spring rate. In most applications, the bellows spring force is considerably less than the thrust
force. This can be visualized by capping the ends of the bellows and pressurizing the inside. In order to restrain
the bellows from extending due to the internal pressure, the piping system must be anchored at the ends or if
there is a change of direction, at the elbow. This analogy applies to a simple straight pipe run with a Single
Expansion Joint. In the case of more complicated piping layouts where it is not practical to separate the piping
into simple straight runs, the expansion joint can be designed with restraint hardware such as tie rods, hinges,
or gimbal rings. These hardware items restrain the pressure thrust force. Unless an In-Line Pressure Balanced
Expansion Joint is used, this hardware will also restrict the bellows from accepting axial movement. In the case
of an expansion joint that is specified with tie rods and axial compression, this pressure thrust force must be
overcome before the bellows will compress, and as the bellows compresses the unit is no longer tied or
restrained.
PRESSURE THRUST RESTRAINT DEVICES
ANCHORS
In order to properly restrain the pressure thrust loads of a piping system with an expansion joint installed, a num-
ber of devices may be used. The most basic is the main anchor of the piping system. The pipe anchor is used to
divide a pipe line into individual expanding sections. These pipe anchors limit and control the amount of move-
ment that an expansion joint must absorb. Major equipment such as turbines, pumps, compressors, heat
exchangers, and reactors may function as anchors, but the equipment design must consider all loading. Other
pipe anchors are typically located at valves, changes in direction of the pipe, blind ends of the pipe, and at major
branch connections. In some cases, a directional anchor may be used in a pipe run to restrain the piping in a par-
ticular direction, but allow the pipe to deflect in another direction.
HARDWARE
Another method of restraining pressure thrust is to add hardware to the expansion joint. This can be done with a
number of different devices, the most common being Tie Rods or Limit Rods. Tie rods and Limit Rods are
designed to restrain pressure thrust forces in Single, as well as, Universal Expansion Joints. They are also used
in special cases such as Pressure Balanced Expansion Joints. Other restraint devices include Hinge and Gimbal
hardware. All these hardware items can be used in a variety of different applications and each has its own limi-
tations. Please review “Expansion Joint Types”, on pages 6 thru 8 for further discussion on these devices and
4 how they are applied to an expansion joint.
PIPE GUIDES
Proper alignment of the adjoining pipe is of essential importance to the correct functioning of an expansion joint.
In order for the expansion joint to provide the expected service, the pipe line must have the recommended num-
ber of guides and should be anchored and supported in accordance with good engineering practice. Pipe guides
are required to insure proper application of movement to the expansion joint and to prevent buckling of the line.
Planar pipe guides may be used in situations where the pipe should be allowed to deflect in a particular direc-
tion but the thermal growth should still be directed into the expansion joint. The first two pipe alignment guides
adjacent to the expansion joint should be circumferential to the pipe.
For applications involving axial movement only, it is typically recommended that the expansion joint be located
close to the anchor and that the first pipe guide be located a maximum distance of four (4) pipe diameters from
the end of the bellows. The second pipe guide must be located a maximum of fourteen (14) pipe diameters from
the first pipe guide. The recommended maximum spacing of intermediate pipe guides along the balance of a
standard weight, carbon steel pipe line, can be determined by the chart below.
Maximum intermediate guide spacing for any pipe material or thickness can be calculated using the following
formula:
L = 0.131 EI
(ft)
PA + xR
L = Maximum intermediate guide spacing (ft).

E = Modulus of elasticity of pipe material (psi).
I = Moment of inertia of pipe (In4).
P = Design pressure (psig).

x = Axial movement of Expansion Joint (in).
R = Axial Spring Rate of Bellows (lb/in).

placement occurs with the bellows ends remaining parallel to each
other and can occur in more than one plane. If lateral deflection does
occur in more than one plane, a resultant is calculated and used in
the bellows evaluation. This movement in multiple planes should be
evaluated with respect to cycle life and hardware orientation.
PARALLEL OFFSET and TRANSVERSE are other common terms for
lateral deflection.
ANGULAR
This type of bellows deflection is the displacement of the longitudi-
nal axis of the bellows into a circular arc about its center and at its
midpoint. This deflection may also occur in a number of planes and
should be properly evaluated with respect to cycle life and hardware
orientation. ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT is another term for angular
deflection or rotation. This is not to be confused with torsional rota-
tion.
TORSION
This type of bellows deflection is the twisting of one end of the bel-
lows with respect to the other end, about the bellows centerline. EXPANSION JOINT TYPES
Due to the extremely high shear stresses produced by this type of
deflection, it is usually advisable to provide the piping system or SINGLE UNRESTRAINED EXPANSION

lows of this torsional load.

EXPANSION JOINT TYPES (cont.)
IN-LINE PRESSURE BALANCED
EXPANSION JOINT
This expansion joint is
another unique design
that absorbs axial, lateral
and angular movements
while eliminating pres-
sure thrust loads on the
piping and without a
change in direction of the
piping. Through the use
of a balancing bellows
and a tie rod linkage arrangement, the pressure thrust forces are
eliminated. The larger balancing bellows must have a cross-section-
al area twice that of the line bellows. The tie rod linkage functions in
much the same way as in the Elbow Pressure Balanced Expansion
Joint and will cause the larger balancing bellows to extend as the
line bellows compresses and vice-versa. The spring forces are
determined in much the same way as the Elbow Pressure Balanced
Expansion Joint. These expansion joints are used in cases where
main anchoring is not practical or pressure thrust loads are too high
for delicate equipment such as turbines or pumps. These expansion
joints are also used in straight pipe runs such as a short run between
two vessels.
EXPANSION JOINT ACCESSORIES

The standard expansion joints listed in this catalog are designed to meet the requirements of most expansion joint applications, however,
there are a number of accessories that are available that provide essential, as well as, recommended protection of the bellows. These acces-
sories may be applied to both the Single as well as the Universal type expansion joints listed in this catalog and should be added to the part
number when selecting the proper expansion joint.
INTERNAL FLOW LINERS (L)

Internal flow liners are devices that protect the internal surface of the bellows. In order to properly size a liner, the expected lateral and angu-
lar movement should be provided. In cases where a liner is required and the unit has different end fittings, the direction of flow should be
specified. In applications that require a heavy liner, the designation HL should be used in the expansion joint part number. Internal flow lin-
ers are necessary in expansion joint applications where the bellows are exposed to the following conditions:
• Smooth flow conditions are required to minimize friction losses or pressure drop.
• Flow velocities exceed the following values:
Air, Steam and other gases:
Up to 6" diameter - 4 ft./sec./inch of diameter
Over 6" diameter - 25 ft./sec.
Water and other liquids:
Up to 6" diameter - 2 ft./sec./inch of diameter
Over 6" diameter - 10 ft./sec.
• Turbulent flow is generated within ten pipe diameters of the expansion joint by changes in flow direc-
tion, valves, tee or elbow sections or cyclonic devices. A heavy wall liner is required for this condition.
• Erosion is possible due to particles in the flow such as catalyst or ash. A heavy wall liner is required for
this condition.
• If the flow is reversible a heavy wall liner is required.
• For high temperature applications, an internal liner can lower the operating temperature of the bellows
and provide better material characteristics. In order to further enhance this benefit, the expansion joint
should not be externally insulated, however, insulation or purging may also be applied between the liner
and bellows.

EXPANSION JOINT ACCESSORIES (cont.)
EXTERNAL PROTECTIVE COVERS (C)
Covers are recommended for external protection of the bellows. FMH Expansion Joints offers a standard cover that is removable for easy
inspection of the bellows. In some cases, the cover may need to be of heavy construction for extra protection. In these cases, the heavy
cover is typically of welded construction (non-removable) with end rings. If a heavy cover is required, the designation HC should be used in
the expansion joint part number. Covers should be specified under the following conditions:
• Protection of the bellows is required for shipping, installation, or while in service. The cover protects
the bellows from accidental damage from foreign objects such as tools and debris.
• When there is a possibility of damage due to field welding in close proximity to the bellows and there
is the chance of weld spatter or arc strikes hitting the bellows.
• When high flow velocities external to the bellows are present such as steam extraction applications.
These applications typically require a heavy cover.
• When there is a need for very limited protection of personnel. For increased personnel protection a
heavy cover may be beneficial. The cover will assist in personnel protection in some cases but should
not be a substitute for safe practices.
• If the expansion joint is to be externally insulated, a cover should be provided in order to prevent the
insulation from restricting the movement of the convolutions. The insulation should be free from any
substance that is harmful to the bellows material in the event leaching may occur.

UNIVERSAL EXPANSION JOINTS
Piping systems that produce large amounts of lateral movement and/or require low lateral forces, are prime can-
didates for application of the FMH Universal Expansion Joint. The following catalog section is dedicated to the
standard FMH Universal Expansion Joint. These standard parts are designed utilizing two standard single bel-
lows designs from the previous section, which are separated by a center pipe spool. All these designs are based
on the stated full rated movement in one direction for a minimum of 3000 EJMA cycles.
FMH Universal Expansion Joints may be specified with flanges, weld ends, elbows or any combination of these
items. They can be specified unrestrained, or fully restrained, utilizing tie rods, hinges or gimbals to withstand the
pressure thrust forces. The system design and piping layout will determine the optimum expansion joint appli-
cation.
The axial thermal movement of the center pipe section between the bellows must be accounted for in the tied
expansion joint design. If the expansion joint is a Universal Hinged or Gimbal type, the piping system must be
designed to accept this thermal movement between the two units. Please see, “Expansion Joint Types” on
pages 6 thru 8 of this catalog for further information on these units.
The standard universal designs in this catalog section are based on bellows manufactured with our standard
A240 T321 stainless steel material. Other materials are available upon request, but may have different movement
and spring rate values. Please consult the factory for details.
The FMH Universal Expansion Joint can be specified with any of the standard accessories listed on pages 8 & 9
of this catalog.

EXTERNALLY PRESSURIZED EXPANSION JOINTS (FX)
The Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint is an exceptional product for absorbing large amounts of axial move-
ment in long straight lengths of pipe. This type of expansion joint is one of the safest and most reliable on the
market. The following design features are what make this style unit such an appealing option in expansion joint
applications.
SQUIRM FREE
The Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint is designed such that the system pressure is applied to the outside
surface of the bellows element. This feature eliminates the problems associated with squirm that are present in
the typical internally pressurized expansion joint. The elimination of squirm allows a bellows to be fabricated with
an almost unlimited number of convolutions and consequently an unlimited axial movement capability.
MAINTENANCE FREE
The Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint has an all welded metal construction which provides a completely
leak tight and maintenance free expansion joint. This is an enormous improvement over the slip type joint, which
requires periodic lubrication and repacking in order to function properly.
SELF LIMITING & GUIDING

The Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint incorporates an internal ring that provides bellows protection in the
event of over compression of the expansion joint. This ring also provides protection of the bellows from contact
with the inside of the outer shell. This ring also reduces the number of pipe guides required for the piping sys-
tem as compared with a standard internally pressurized expansion joint.
SELF DRAINING
The Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint has the added advantage of self-draining convolutions. This can
greatly reduce the corrosion problems associated with some internally pressurized expansion joint applications.
INHERENT SAFETY & LINING

The Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint is totally enclosed by an outer shell that is designed to contain the
full line pressure of the system. This full strength outer shell protects the bellows from external damage and great-
ly reduces the chance of damage during shipment or installation. This outer shell also provides a shield in the
event of a bellows failure, which will direct the media longitudinally along the length of the pipe instead of radi-
ally outward and possibly in the direction of personnel. The Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint also is
designed such that the standard wall pipe on the movable end of the expansion joint lines the bellows. This elim-
inates the need to specify additional liners for this style of joint. Based on this liner design, the Externally
Pressurized Expansion Joint can accommodate a multidirectional flow.
FX ADVANTAGE
FMH Expansion Joints offers a standard Externally Pressurized Expansion Joint which has a number of
exceptional features that are not found in some other competitor's models.
• Multi-ply Bellows: FMH Expansion Joints utilizes a multi-ply bellows design for the standard units offered
in this catalog section. This multi-ply design provides a flexible element with much
lower deflection stresses, and consequently, a much longer service life. The following
standard units are designed to accommodate the stated movements for a minimum
2000 EJMA cycles.
• Drain Connection: The FMH Expansion Joints externally pressurized design provides a drain plug on
every standard unit. This provides the customer with the capability to remove any
internal dirt, scale, sludge, condensate or other foreign matter. The drain connection is
also an ideal location for a steam trap.
• Bellows Attachment: The FMH Expansion Joints standard design provides the bellows attachment with a
tangent and band connection, unlike some other competitor's models that place the
bellows weld attachment on the radius or side wall of the convolution. The FMH
Expansion Joints bellows attachment is far superior, and greatly enhances the service
life of the expansion joint.
