Unreinforced Bellows Design Calculation Sheet: (Ejma Nineth Edition)

This document contains calculations for an unreinforced bellows design. It provides key design parameters such as size, material, temperature, pressure, and movement specifications. The calculations determine several stress values, spring rates, and a fatigue life cycle to verify the design meets standards for safety based on the EJMA NINETH edition. All values and stresses were found to be acceptable and within allowable limits per the specifications.
