What is a compensator?

A compensator refers to a component used in an instrument to compensate for variables such as phase difference, optical path difference, polarization difference, light intensity, or mechanical displacement.

Compensators are also commonly known as expansion joints or expansion joints. It is composed of corrugated pipes (a type of elastic element) and accessories such as end pipes, brackets, flanges, and conduits that make up the main body of its work. Belongs to a type of compensation element. Utilize the effective expansion and contraction deformation of its working body corrugated pipe to absorb the dimensional changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction of pipelines, conduits, containers, etc., or compensate for the axial, lateral, and angular displacement of pipelines, conduits, containers, etc. It can also be used for noise reduction and vibration reduction. Widely used in modern industry. In terms of heating, in order to prevent deformation or damage of the heating pipeline caused by thermal elongation or temperature stress during heating, it is necessary to install compensators on the pipeline to compensate for the thermal elongation of the pipeline, thereby reducing the stress on the pipe wall and the force acting on the valve or support structure.

The compensator has the following functions: firstly, it compensates for the axial, transverse, and angular cold and hot deformation of the absorption pipeline. Secondly, the expansion and contraction of the corrugated compensator facilitates the installation and disassembly of valve pipelines. Thirdly, absorb equipment vibration and reduce the impact of equipment vibration on pipelines. Finally, absorb the deformation of pipelines caused by earthquakes and subsidence.

The compensator adopts one-time hydraulic forming and mechanical forming technology, and is assisted by computer optimization design and manufacturing. It has the advantages of accurate size, clean and non-invasive surface, compact product structure, large compensation amount, no leakage, corrosion resistance, long service life, easy installation, and reliable product quality. At the same time, other types and uses of ripple compensators can also be developed for users based on their working environment, conditions, and fatigue damage frequency. This product is widely used in industries such as steel, petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, power, water supply and drainage, and construction.
