為常見(jian)的(de)(de)(de)(de)軸向式(shi)波(bo)(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節，用(yong)在(zai)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上進(jin)行軸向長度補償(chang)。為了防止超過允許的(de)(de)(de)(de)補償(chang)量(liang)，在(zai)波(bo)(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)兩端設置(zhi)有保護拉桿或保護環，在(zai)與(yu)它連接的(de)(de)(de)(de)兩端管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上設置(zhi)導向支架(jia)。另外(wai)還有轉(zhuan)角(jiao)式(shi)和(he)橫向式(shi)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節，可用(yong)來補償(chang)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)的(de)(de)(de)(de)轉(zhuan)角(jiao)變形(xing)和(he)橫向變形(xing)。這類(lei)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節的(de)(de)(de)(de)優點(dian)(dian)是節省空間(jian)，節約材料，便于標準(zhun)化(hua)和(he)批量(liang)生產，缺點(dian)(dian)是壽命較(jiao)短。波(bo)(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節一般用(yong)于溫度和(he)壓力不很高、長度較(jiao)短的(de)(de)(de)(de)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上。隨著波(bo)(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)生產技術水平的(de)(de)(de)(de)提高，這類(lei)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節的(de)(de)(de)(de)應用(yong)范圍正在(zai)擴大。目前，波(bo)(bo)紋(wen)(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節可用(yong)在(zai)最高壓力6.0兆(zhao)帕的(de)(de)(de)(de)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)系中。
