NAFLON Bellows
Fluoropolymer Universal Expansion Joint

TM

NAFLON Bellows
NAFLON bellows are mainly used to absorb the thermal expansion and
contraction of pipelines.
When designing piping systems for various industrial facilities, it is
necessary to fully consider the absorption of the thermal expansion or
contraction of pipe lines, correction of the misalignment between
equipment and a pipe axis due to aging, and the absorption of
vibrations and noises produced between pipelines and vibration
sources including pumps.
Although metal bellows and rubber bellows have been commonly used
as expansion pipe joints for those purposes, these joints are not
satisfactory in terms of corrosion proofing and durability, especially in
the presence of strong corrosive acids, alkalis, or chlorinated solvents.
NAFLON bellows, which we introduce here, are versatile expansion
joints manufactured with fluororesin (PTFE or PFA) which has many
excellent characteristics including chemical resistance and heat
resistance.
Fluororesin has corrosion resistance to almost all chemicals and has
features such as nonadhesiveness, a low friction coefficient, and
weather resistance, which other plastics do not have. In addition, it has
outstanding durability against repeated stress.
Taking advantage of these strong points of fluoropolymers, we provide
NAFLON bellows in many types including the five basic types of
TOMBO No. 9060 through 9064, which enable you to freely select the
proper type according to your installation method and operating
conditions.
NICHIAS's NAFLON Bellows will deliver high performance as an
expansion joint for a long time in processes involving strong corrosive
liquids, thus assuring trouble-free operation.
* When you use or select our products, please consult our sales or technical
department for detailed information after filling out your operation conditions
in theInquiry Formon page 24.

Notes common to the two types of 25A to 300A and 350A to


600A
The holes for the flange bolts are tapped holes in the standard
specifications. However, the holes on both sides are drilled
holes only for the 350A to 600A with 5 convolutions.
The Fire Service Law cannot be applied.
The sizes of the tapped holes are matched to fit the sizes of
the bolts used for JIS 10K flanges.
For vacuum applications, refer to page 21.
The limit bolts are set with the standard face-to-face distance
(L) when shipping. Adjust them within the allowable range
of expansion and contraction, if necessary.
ANSI, other flange standards, and other materials can be
manufactured.

Cautions for Handling


TM

NAFLON Bellows
Please read this instruction manual carefully to use the
products properly.
Also, make sure that this instruction manual is in the
possession of the manager responsible for maintenance and
inspection after the installation work is completed.
1.Cautions for Use
1Conditions for Use
For an expansion joint selected from TOMBO No. 9061
NAFLON PTFE, TOMBO No. 9062 NAFLON (stainless
steel lining type), and TOMBO No. 9063 NAFLON PTFE
(hereafter all these types are collectively referred to as
bellows), please ensure that the required system data such
as pressure resistance, vacuum resistance, and absorptive
capacities matches the data listed in the catalogue of
NAFLON bellows.
2Axial Misalignment
The bellows are not designed to correct an axial
misalignment of pipes. The axial misalignment of the
bellows may reduce its capacity to absorb displacement
causing stress fatigue of the product material, which will
result in a shorter service life of the product.
3Anchoring
Always anchor a pipeline at places where it changes its
direction. Mount the bellows as near as possible to these
anchoring positions. Installation without anchoring may
cause a displacement exceeding the permissible range due
to an impelling force, which will result in a damage to the
product.
4Pipe Support
Always support a pipeline with hangers and anchors to
avoid a load which may cause a displacement exceeding the
allowable range.
5Safety Measures
Bellows are used at high temperatures and high pressures
for pipelines and equipment handling hazardous substances
such as liquids and gases. Take every precaution to avoid
disasters due to leakage of the liquid. Do not mount bellows
in areas where inspection works (failure inspections
including periodical inspection) cannot be performed.
Mounting a safety cover is recommended when using
bellows under severe conditions to protect workers from
accidents in case of bellows damage.
2.Cautions for Installation
1Protection of the Ends
For expansion joints such as TOMBO No. 9061 NAFLON
PTFE, TOMBO No. 9062 NAFLON (stainless steel
shrouding type), and TOMBO No. 9063 NAFLON PTFE
(hereafter all the types are collectively referred to as
bellows), protective plates are mounted at the flared ends
before shipping. Do not remove the protective plates
other than for piping work.
Removing the protective plates on unnecessary occasions
will damage the flared ends causing a flaw or a dent and
reducing the seal performance, which may result in
leakage during operation of the piping system.
When performing piping work, always protect the flared
ends with a soft cloth and remove dirt carefully. If dirt is
caught at the flared ends, it may result in leakage during
operation of the piping system.
2Mounting Procedures
The protruding length of the mounting bolts toward the

28

rear surface of the flange shall be 3mm or less to avoid


damage to the main body of the bellows due to
interference with the bolts if the main body of the
bellows causes displacement or expansion.
Always use a gasket when tightening a flange to reduce
the contact surface pressure, and tighten bolts evenly
and by turns in a diagonal manner to ensure a good seal.
TOMBO bellows No. 9061 and No. 9063 are set to the
standard face-to-face distance with the limit bolts when
shipping. Adjust them within the maximum allowable
range of expansion and contraction according to
conditions for use in your company.
In addition, TOMBO bellows No. 9062 is mounted with
shipping bolts used for adjustment of the face-to-face
distance when performing piping work or setup work.
Always remove the shipping bolts after completing
piping work to avoid damage at the mounting sections of
the shipping bolts due to expansion and contraction of
the pipes.
After completing the mounting work of the bellows, blow
air to remove foreign materials including scrap metal
remaining at the bottoms of the convolutions of the
bellow section in order to avoid damage to the main body
of the bellows during operation of the piping system.
2Gasket
When connecting the flange surfaces of the bellows, use of
TOMBO No. 9010 NAFLON PTFE Cushion Gasket is
recommended. Combining the gasket with TOMBO No.
9400 NAFLON Paste will achieve more reliable sealing
(Selection shall be conducted after taking into consideration
the type of liquid.)
3.Cautions for Storage
Pay careful attention not to damage the products during
transportation or storage
When keeping the products for a long period of time,
keep them in a cool and dark place and avoid direct
sunlight.
Pay careful attention not to expose the products to fire
during storage
Pay careful not to apply loads to the products
4.Cautions for Inspection
1Periodical inspection
Perform the following periodical inspections two or more
times per year for early detection of abnormalities and
avoiding accidents.
Joint sections
No leakage from the joint sections
No looseness of the bolts
No corrosion at the flange sections
Main body of product
No abnormal deformations on the bellow section such as
cracks and damage
No damage to the limit bolts
No corrosion of both the control rings and the stainless
sections of TOMBO No. 9062 bellows
2When removing from piping systems
When removing the products from the piping system,
perform the removal after temperature is down to the
ordinary level.
In addition, mount the protective plates immediately after
removing the products from the piping systems to avoid
deformation and damage to the flared sections.

Cautions for handling products

1. Please use products within the permissible temperature range


specified in the catalogue.
2. Please refer to MSDS (Material safety data sheet) when using
products.
3. Please dispose of products in accordance with applicable lows for
waste disposal in each country.

WARNINGS

Please make sure you use the product in accordance with


the following rules in order to maintain its original functions
and to ensure safety in use.
1. Never allow the product to touch body tissues or body fluid.
2. When fabricating the product at above the maximum service
temperature, ventilate the room adequately so as not to inhale the
fluorinated cracked gas which will be generated.

CAUTIONS

Please note the following points in order to ensure the


original functions of the product.
1. Technical data referred to in this catalogue (to show the
performance of a product) are all actual measurement values
obtained from experiments or representative values, not
guaranteed values. Advance in-depth consideration for your
intended purpose is recommended.
2. Especially thorough consideration is required for the use of acid,
alkali, and other poisonous fluids. Please contact our technical staff
for advice.
3. Because of the nature of the materials, repetitious loads, extremely
concentrated loads, and bending loads could affect the durability of
the product. Always check the condition of the product before use.
4. Fluoropolymer is self-lubricating by nature, but it does become
worn after some time. Periodical replacement is recommended for
the parts in which a lot of wear is observed.
5. Depending on the usage environment, fluid could penetrate the
fluoropolymer. Hardening and change in size could also occur, so
always check the condition of the product before use.
6. We can offer products with specifications other than the ones given
in the catalogue. However, please note that these may require
additional costs and lead time.
7. Please contact either our salesperson or technical staff for any
further advice you may need.
