為(wei)(wei)常見的軸向式(shi)(shi)波(bo)紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)節，用(yong)在(zai)管(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上(shang)(shang)進行軸向長度(du)補償。為(wei)(wei)了防止(zhi)超(chao)過允(yun)許的補償量，在(zai)波(bo)紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)兩端(duan)設(she)置有保護拉(la)桿(gan)或保護環(huan)，在(zai)與它連接的兩端(duan)管(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上(shang)(shang)設(she)置導(dao)向支(zhi)架。另(ling)外還有轉(zhuan)(zhuan)角式(shi)(shi)和(he)橫向式(shi)(shi)膨(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)節，可(ke)(ke)用(yong)來補償管(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)的轉(zhuan)(zhuan)角變(bian)形和(he)橫向變(bian)形。這(zhe)類膨(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)節的優(you)點是節省(sheng)空(kong)間，節約材料，便(bian)于標準化和(he)批量生(sheng)產，缺點是壽命較(jiao)(jiao)短。波(bo)紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)節一般(ban)用(yong)于溫度(du)和(he)壓(ya)力不很高(gao)、長度(du)較(jiao)(jiao)短的管(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)上(shang)(shang)。隨(sui)著波(bo)紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)生(sheng)產技(ji)術水平的提(ti)高(gao)，這(zhe)類膨(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)節的應用(yong)范圍(wei)正在(zai)擴大。目前，波(bo)紋(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)節可(ke)(ke)用(yong)在(zai)最高(gao)壓(ya)力6.0兆(zhao)帕的管(guan)(guan)(guan)系中。
