EG&G 3/4" Extended Stem Bellows Tube — 1.0 PSIG Stainless Steel

What is the MAWP and capacity at service pressure?

The pressure rating is stated as 1.0 PSIG; whether this represents MAWP or operating pressure is not specified in the listing. The listing does not provide volumetric capacity or dimensional details beyond the 3/4" diameter designation. Request full dimensions, wall schedule, and bellows convolution data from the seller to calculate working volume.

What is the requalification or inspection status?

The listing provides no inspection or qualification history. The dealer notes indicate the item was looked for but not located in inventory, meaning physical inspection has not occurred and condition is unknown. This component cannot be verified as present or assessed without seller confirmation.

What should I inspect before putting it into service?

If the item is located, inspect all bellows convolutions for cracks, pitting, or work-hardening particularly at the roots where fatigue concentrates. Check the extended stem for straightness and thread condition, verify weld integrity at stem-to-bellows joints, and examine stainless surfaces for contamination or previous service residue that could affect your application. Pressure test to rated PSIG minimum, though bellows components often warrant cycle testing if service involves repeated flexing.
