Molded Bellows

Internal Pressure:

Calculate the maximum internal pressure that the molded bellows will be subjected to during its operation. Consider factors such as the working fluid pressure, potential pressure surges, and safety factors. The design of the bellows, including the thickness of the rubber wall, the type and amount of reinforcement materials, and the corrugation geometry, should be adjusted to ensure that it can withstand the calculated internal pressure without failure.

External Pressure:

In some applications, the molded bellows may be exposed to external pressure, such as in underwater or vacuum - related scenarios. Calculate the maximum external pressure and design the bellows to resist collapse or deformation under such conditions. This may involve using stiffer reinforcement materials or optimizing the corrugation shape for better external pressure resistance.
