The core of an E-type spherical compensator is a spherical-shaped element (often a ball or a flexible rubber bellows) that allows for angular displacement.

This spherical design enables it to handle movement in multiple directions:

Axial Movement: Expansion or contraction along the pipe's length.
Lateral Movement: Side-to-side deflection perpendicular to the pipe's centerline.
Angular Movement: Bending or rotation of the pipe.

A key feature is that the ball can freely rotate around its center of gyration. This flexibility helps absorb stress and prevent damage to the pipes and connected equipment.
