Surge Attenuators from ShockGuard

Surge Attenuators from ShockGuard

Liquid bellow surge attenuators are recommended where the temperature or compatibility prohibits the choice of a ShockGuard elastomer or PTFE separator membrane and so a metal bellows Liquibellow surge attenuators have to be used.

To prevent "snaking" - rubbing of the bellow against the vessel housing - these surge attenuators have hollow pistons which guide the top of the bellows and an internal column to prevent implosion when collapsed.

Generally the seals of a Liquibellow surge attenautor are hollow vented stainless rings with a softer metal surface - say silver -. The entire surge attenuator assemblies are designed to allow the replacement of the bellows capsule, unlike "all welded throw away flexcrafted stuff".
