In 1988, ASME B31.3 added Appendix X containing requirements for Metallic Bellows Expansion Joints into the Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping Code. These have been revised and improved in subsequent addenda to the Code. This paper describes some of the salient features of this Appendix, as well as the revisions and the background behind them.
