Abstract
A modular approach to the fabrication and assembly of metallic bellows assemblies is disclosed. A metallic bellows module is provided with a female coupling arrangement in the form of a circumferential pocket at one end and a conically shaped male coupling arrangement at the other end thereof. The conically shaped male coupling on one metallic bellows module is receivable within the circumferential pocket in a female coupling on another metallic bellows module. A plurality of set screws positioned around the periphery of the female coupling contact the conical surface of the male coupling causing the male coupling to move axially into the female coupling compressing an O-ring positioned within the circumferential pocket in the female coupling.
