Universal Expansion Joint Hydrostatic Testing is an extremely valuable step in the Expansion Joint and Flexible Piping manufacturing process. A leak on a product can cause thousands of dollars in maintenance costs, down machinery, and faulty equipment. DME takes Hydrostatic Testing very seriously. From common single bellows expansion joints, to complex tied universal [...]
Most people understand the concept of a common DME bellows expansion joint, consisting of a bellows attached to a variety of possible end fittings. It is simple, and most of the components are visible to anyone. If someone takes a look at a DME externally pressurized expansion joint or expansion compensator, a scratch of the [...]
The engineered metal bellows we know of today has been around for quite some time. Each bellows carries with it several different characteristics and options. One of the critical differentiating characteristics is whether or not it is a single-ply or a multiply. The basic principle is simple; a single-ply has one tube and a multiply has [...]
There has always been something artistic about welding. The process of placing two pieces of metal together, heating and molding them to create one combined part, no weaker than before, will always be somewhat of an art form. The DME welding artistry performed on a daily basis is mind-blowing to say the least. The experienced welders and sophisticated [...]
