Abstract
A flexible connector is provided for coupling a source and discharge outlet for fluid transfer. The connector has a tubular metal bellows, an inner tubular metal liner, couplings at each end of the bellows having articulated joints between the inner liner and the couplings, such that the liner provides isolation between gases flowing through the connector and the bellows, and protective structure encompassing the bellows.
