為常(chang)見的軸(zhou)向(xiang)式(shi)波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)，用(yong)在(zai)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)上進行軸(zhou)向(xiang)長度補償(chang)。為了防止超過允(yun)許的補償(chang)量，在(zai)波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)兩端(duan)設置有保護(hu)拉桿或保護(hu)環，在(zai)與它連(lian)接的兩端(duan)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)上設置導向(xiang)支架。另外還有轉角(jiao)式(shi)和(he)(he)橫向(xiang)式(shi)膨(peng)(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)，可用(yong)來補償(chang)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)的轉角(jiao)變(bian)形(xing)和(he)(he)橫向(xiang)變(bian)形(xing)。這類膨(peng)(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)的優(you)點是節(jie)(jie)省空間，節(jie)(jie)約材料，便(bian)于標準化(hua)和(he)(he)批量生(sheng)產，缺點是壽命(ming)較短(duan)。波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)一般用(yong)于溫度和(he)(he)壓(ya)力(li)不很高、長度較短(duan)的管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道(dao)(dao)上。隨著波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)生(sheng)產技(ji)術(shu)水平的提高，這類膨(peng)(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)的應(ying)用(yong)范圍正(zheng)在(zai)擴大。目前(qian)，波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)(peng)(peng)脹(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)節(jie)(jie)可用(yong)在(zai)最高壓(ya)力(li)6.0兆帕的管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)系中(zhong)。
