為常見(jian)的軸向式(shi)波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節，用在管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道上(shang)(shang)進(jin)行軸向長度(du)補(bu)償(chang)。為了(le)防止超過(guo)允許的補(bu)償(chang)量，在波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)兩端(duan)設置有保(bao)(bao)護拉(la)桿(gan)或保(bao)(bao)護環，在與(yu)它連接(jie)的兩端(duan)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道上(shang)(shang)設置導向支(zhi)架。另外還有轉(zhuan)角(jiao)式(shi)和橫向式(shi)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節，可用來補(bu)償(chang)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道的轉(zhuan)角(jiao)變形(xing)和橫向變形(xing)。這類膨(peng)脹(zhang)節的優(you)點(dian)是節省空(kong)間，節約材料(liao)，便(bian)于(yu)標準化(hua)和批量生(sheng)產(chan)(chan)，缺點(dian)是壽命(ming)較短(duan)。波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節一般用于(yu)溫(wen)度(du)和壓(ya)(ya)力不很(hen)高(gao)、長度(du)較短(duan)的管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)道上(shang)(shang)。隨著波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)生(sheng)產(chan)(chan)技術水(shui)平(ping)的提高(gao)，這類膨(peng)脹(zhang)節的應(ying)用范圍(wei)正(zheng)在擴大。目(mu)前，波(bo)紋(wen)(wen)管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)膨(peng)脹(zhang)節可用在最高(gao)壓(ya)(ya)力6.0兆帕的管(guan)(guan)(guan)(guan)系中(zhong)。
