Engineered for Performance.
KINJOINT SSEJ-150F-SG is an engineered stainless steel bellows expansion joint with flanged ends and rod/control hardware designed to accommodate dimensional changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction in piping systems.
The flexible bellows element is manufactured from SST304 stainless steel. The SSEJ-150F is the published 16 bar flanged configuration, while the SG suffix identifies the version incorporating tie rods/control hardware.
The standard KINJOINT product data publishes a working-temperature range from −50°C to +450°C and ±25 mm axial movement. Dedicated SSEJ-150F-SG technical drawings are also available for ±50 mm and ±100 mm axial movement, allowing the product configuration to be selected according to calculated piping movement.
Kinetics Middle East supports consultants, MEP contractors, mechanical contractors, piping engineers and project teams requiring stainless steel expansion joints for UAE, GCC and wider MENA projects.
SSEJ-150F is the published 16 bar flanged model within the KINJOINT stainless steel expansion-joint range.
The November 2024 standard dimensional table covers SSEJ-150F sizes from DN32 to DN600, with larger sizes, movement requirements and working pressures available for technical review.
The SG suffix identifies the configuration incorporating rod/control hardware.
Kinetics identifies the hardware as tie rods in its construction table and describes tie rods as an option used to control movement. The same technical documentation refers to the finish of the associated components as “control rod & hardware.”
The approved Kinetics model-specific drawing must govern rod settings and permissible movement.
The standard specifications and construction materials above are documented in Kinetics Product Data Sheet KME-SSEJ-FLT-2024, Edition November 2024.
The current KINJOINT family datasheet publishes ±25 mm axial movement as the standard movement for the SSEJ-150F family.
Kinetics publishes a dedicated SSEJ-150F-SG ±50 mm axial-movement configuration with BS4504 PN16 flanged ends, 16 bar working pressure and a working-temperature range from −50°C to +450°C.
For applications requiring greater calculated pipe movement, Kinetics also publishes an SSEJ-150F-SG ±100 mm configuration, rated at 16 bar with BS4504 PN16 flanged ends and the same −50°C to +450°C working-temperature range.
The ±50 mm and ±100 mm drawings use different bellows arrangements according to size, so final overall length and bellows configuration must be selected from the applicable Kinetics technical drawing.
KINJOINT SSEJ-150F-SG stainless steel expansion joints are suitable for engineered piping systems requiring controlled accommodation of thermal expansion and contraction.
Typical applications include:
Final selection must be based on nominal pipe diameter, design and working pressure, operating temperature, calculated movement, process medium, flange specification, piping layout, anchors, guides and supports.
The flexible bellows element is manufactured from SST304 stainless steel to provide controlled piping flexibility.
SSEJ-150F is the published 16 bar configuration within the current KINJOINT range.
The published working-temperature range is −50°C to +450°C.
Standard product data publishes ±25 mm axial movement, while dedicated SSEJ-150F-SG drawings provide ±50 mm and ±100 mm configurations.
The SG configuration incorporates carbon-steel rod/control hardware as part of the engineered assembly.
Kinetics’ drawings warn that control units must be used to protect the expansion joint from excessive movement where piping is not properly anchored.
The standard construction incorporates an SST304 inner sleeve. Kinetics states that internal liners can protect the inner bellows surface from applicable erosion and flow-induced vibration.
Bellows expansion joints provide piping flexibility in a compact assembly and reduce the installation space required compared with conventional rigid pipe loops where a metallic bellows joint is suitable.
Kinetics Middle East L.L.C. is based in Dubai, UAE and supports expansion-joint technical selection and project requirements across the regional market.
Kinetics’ own documentation identifies the SG components as tie rods/control hardware, while its model-specific SSEJ-150F-SG drawings also publish defined axial-movement capabilities.
The Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association (EJMA) makes a technical distinction between true tie rods and limit rods: true tie rods restrain pressure thrust and prevent axial movement, whereas limit rods can permit a specified amount of axial travel.
For this reason, the SSEJ-150F-SG page should use Kinetics’ terminology “tie rods/control hardware” and rely on the approved model-specific Kinetics drawing for actual rod settings and allowable axial movement.
Correct piping anchors and guides are essential for reliable metallic bellows expansion-joint operation.
Kinetics specifically instructs users to provide proper anchoring and guiding to prevent expansion joints from extending or buckling as a result of pressure thrust.
The SSEJ-150F-SG drawings additionally warn that control units are required to protect the joint from excessive movement where the piping is inadequately anchored.
The expansion joint, rod/control arrangement, anchors, guides and supports must therefore be treated as one engineered piping system.
Before installing the SSEJ-150F-SG:
EJMA states that torsional twisting can reduce bellows life or cause expansion-joint failure and should be avoided.
SSEJ-150F-SG is the stainless steel expansion-joint configuration with rod/control hardware and no external shroud.
SSEJ-150F-SG-ES adds an external protective shroud around the bellows.
Kinetics uses the ES suffix for the external-cover option, while SG denotes the rod configuration.

Verify the approved SSEJ-150F-SG model, nominal pipe size, 16 bar pressure rating, flange specification, temperature and movement requirement before installation. Inspect the SST304 bellows and rod/control hardware for damage. Maintain the approved rod settings and install all anchors, guides and pipe supports according to the engineered piping design. Protect the bellows from impact, weld splatter and arc strikes, avoid torsional twisting and do not force the joint to correct unintended piping misalignment. Do not exceed the approved pressure, temperature or movement capability. Refer any deviation from the approved piping arrangement to Kinetics Middle East before commissioning.
