collasso Explanation: Squirm Pressure: Internally pressurized bellows become unstable at a critical or squirm pressure. Bellows which are long relative to their diameter tend to buckle much like a long column under compression. This generally occurs when the length is 2-2 ½ times greater than the inside diameter. Another type of squirm occurs referred to as in-plane occurs when the individual convolutions deviate from parallel planes. Either condition represents the maximum pressure, and failure will occur if the pressure is increased. |
