5 6 Our company The right connection... For more than 40 years STENFLEX flexible pipe connections have been accepted structural elements prefered in pipeline engineering. Our STENFLEX manufacturing experience, combined with our technical know-how in the design of small- and large-scale pipeline systems provides economical and reliable solutions to a wide variety of applications. STENFLEX compensators are used for compensation of movement vibration absorption noise absorption and tension reduction in pipeline systems. Furthermore, they can be used as compensators for installation inaccuracies dismantling pieces sealing elements where pipe systems pass through walls For decades our flexible connections have provided superior performance in industrial plant construction Flexible pipe power technology industry shipbuilding gas- and water supply systems domestic engineering ventilation and air-con technology loading plant

6 7 Constant production control of the compensator bellows using load cycle testing equipment Development and design using CAD Our engineers are available for consultation when selecting the ideal pipe connections and making optimum installation arrangements. Our development and design department guarantees on-going product optimization new developments according to market requirements application-oriented designs The STENFLEX group, with headquarters in the north of Hamburg, is striving to supply the world-wide market for flexible pipe connections with innovative high-performance products and top quality service. connections... for greater safety in pipelines
