Any device that contain one or several bellows that function by absorbing dimensional changes are considered expansion joints. These dimensional changes are often due to thermal expansion or pipeline contraction. The expansion joints relieve stress on flexures and angles due to slab confinement. Usually, these joints are placed near or between structures that connect fixed elements like buildings, columns, or bolted machinery. These joints allow for contraction and thermal expansion without causing system stress. Although joints function in the same manner, different joints are suited for different structures. Ensuring the use of correct joints guarantees strength and longevity of the building or structure. A pipeline system that connects vessels and pumps usually require expansion joints with metal bellows. The rotation within the bellow provides lateral, angular, and axial movements. Welded-end or flanged-end joints are usually made by using standard bellows...

I used this example, because it was a huge achievement for me, I wanted to be a Marine, but I knew that it...
