Stainless Steel Expansion Joints |
As part of a long-term safety
review, Wylfa Power Station were undertaking the modification of
reactor drains, by replacing the existing pipework with stainless
steel.
At the design stage, it was established that natural flexibility
would not deal with potential expansion and there was a need for
expansion joints. However, due to the fluids flowing through the
system it was not possible to use conventional expansion bellows,
as contaminated material would collect in the convolutions of the
bellows.
Working closely with the consultants,
J & P Supplies were able to design and manufacture a range of
STOURFLEX®
all stainless steel expansion joints with an integral composite
liner.
This bespoke liner was fitted
inside the bellows to provide double protection against the active
waste material whilst still enabling the bellows to angulate as
designed.
All design, manufacture and
testing were subjected to rigorous procedures as specified by Magnox
Electric plc.
J&P Supplies Ltd provides a complete design service. This includes
free technical advice, site surveys and after sales support.
