伸縮器也稱伸縮節(jié)、膨脹節(jié)、補(bǔ)償器，分為：波紋補(bǔ)償器、套筒補(bǔ)償器、旋轉(zhuǎn)補(bǔ)償器、方形自然補(bǔ)償器等幾大類型，其中以波紋補(bǔ)償器較為常用，主要為保障管道運(yùn)行。
另外，管道伸縮器也是伸縮器的一種，管道伸縮器的鏈接主要有法蘭連接、焊接兩種，直埋式伸縮器（非地溝、設(shè)井安裝時(shí)）一般采用焊接。管道伸縮器具有良好的綜合性能，所以它廣泛用于化工、建筑、給水、排水、石油、輕重工業(yè)、冷凍、衛(wèi)生、水暖、消防、電力等基礎(chǔ)工程。
Expansion joints, also known as expansion joints, expansion joints, compensators, divided into: several types of bellows, sleeve compensator, rotating compensator, a square natural compensation, etc., of which the bellows is more commonly used, mainly for the protection of pipelines safe operation.
In addition, the pipe expansion joints is also a kind of expansion joints, pipe expansion joints link the main flange connection, welding, two Buried expansion joints (non-trench, located wells when installed) commonly used welding. Pipe expansion joints with a good overall performance, so it is widely used in chemical, construction, water supply, drainage, oil, light and heavy industrial, refrigeration, sanitation, plumbing, fire, electricity and other infrastructure projects.
