A flexible pipe element is provided formed as a metal bellows with at least one corrugated bellows section and a bellows brim, which forms one end of the metal bellows, and a connection element for connecting the metal bellows to a continuing pipe part or to a connector, with the connection element having a connection area for abutting a contact area of the bellows brim. An annular bulge is formed in the contact area of the bellows brim and/or in the connection area of the connection element projecting beyond an average level of the contact area and/or an average level of the connection area in order to form a linear seal between the contact area and the connection area. A method for producing such a flexible line part is also provided.

A pulsation damping capsule including at least one hermetically joint-sealed metal membrane housing made of at least two preferably concave hemispheres, the housing being provided for separating an inner space from a surrounding pressure medium, wherein the hemispheres are connected together along a peripheral seam firmly bonded such that the pulsation damping capsule can be compressed and expanded as an energy accumulator with spring elasticity due to the effect of the pressure medium. A pulsation damping device is provided which is both dimensioned to withstand stresses and is simple to produce, the pulsation damping effect of which can be tailored especially easily to the existing conditions. Further disclosed is a pulsation damping module for housing a plurality of pulsation damping capsules.
