Usually constructed of metal, this mechanical device [bellows] finds wide application in mechanical, thermal, instrumentation, and control systems. A metal bellows may be defined as a flexible, expansible, and collapsible metal vessel consisting of a series of annular plates having their inner and outer circumferences joined together.... Bellows are used in thermal systems where, because of expansion and contraction resulting from temperature changes, flexibility of a leakproof nature must be imparted to piping and other connections. 5, record 9, English, - expansion%20compensator%20bellows
