為常見(jian)的軸向式波紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)膨脹(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)，用(yong)(yong)在(zai)(zai)管(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上(shang)進行軸向長(chang)度(du)(du)補償(chang)。為了防止超過允許的補償(chang)量，在(zai)(zai)波紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)兩端設(she)置(zhi)有(you)保(bao)(bao)護拉(la)桿(gan)或保(bao)(bao)護環(huan)，在(zai)(zai)與它連接的兩端管(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上(shang)設(she)置(zhi)導向支架。另外還有(you)轉角式和(he)橫(heng)向式膨脹(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)，可用(yong)(yong)來補償(chang)管(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)的轉角變(bian)形和(he)橫(heng)向變(bian)形。這類膨脹(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)的優點是(shi)(shi)節(jie)(jie)省空(kong)間，節(jie)(jie)約材料，便于標準化(hua)和(he)批量生產(chan)，缺點是(shi)(shi)壽(shou)命(ming)較短。波紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)膨脹(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)一般用(yong)(yong)于溫(wen)度(du)(du)和(he)壓力(li)(li)不(bu)很(hen)高、長(chang)度(du)(du)較短的管(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上(shang)。隨著波紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)生產(chan)技術水平的提高，這類膨脹(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)的應用(yong)(yong)范(fan)圍正在(zai)(zai)擴大。目前，波紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)膨脹(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)可用(yong)(yong)在(zai)(zai)最(zui)高壓力(li)(li)6.0兆帕的管(guan)(guan)(guan)系(xi)中(zhong)。
