Badger expansion joints are available in a wide-range of sizes, shapes, and material.  Many are custom-engineered and built to suit each individual application and requirements.

Used primarily in piping systems that exhibit thermal motion, our expansion joints range in size from 2" nominal pipe size to an upper range that is limited only by shipping considerations.  We fabricate  joints that accept a variety of pressures, temperatures, medias and movements.

Bellow material is selected by customer to ensure a proper fit of material to their specific media and service conditions.  Badger's standard bellows material is SA 240 Type 321 Stainless Steel.  Other types of material are available upon request, including series 300 and 400 stainless steel, alloy 200, 400, 600, 625, 800, 800H, 825. 20-Cb3. C-276, C-22 and many others.

All Badger expansion joint bellows designs are verified by a computerized stress analysis confirmed by hundreds of prototype tests.  This analysis is provided for all ASME Section VIII designs and is available for all Badger bellows designs.

Badger Industries offers a full line of non-metallic expansion joints for use in flue gas ducting and turbine exhaust applications.  Non-metallic expansion joints generally out-perform metal units in these large cross-section, high temperature/low pressure applications by offering large movement capacities with low loading in a shorter face-to-face dimension.

Belt materials vary from Reinforced Elastomers for lower temperature applications (<400 degrees F) to Composite belt configurations which can operate at temperatures up to 1500 degrees F.

Fabric joints are available in various configurations in both round and rectangular cross-sections suitable for a multitude of applications.

A portion of Badger  Industries' total production capacity is reserved to service critical delivery commitments like customer breakdowns.  In emergency situations, metal bellows can be "rush" formed for immediate shipment.  Standard expansion joints can be shipped 24 to 48 hours after an order is received while special expansion joints, such as hinge, gimbal and universal type, can be shipped as early as 7 to 15 days.
