Carbon steel elbow is a common pipe connection, it is usually used to transport liquid, gas, steam and other media. During use, the carbon steel elbow needs to withstand greater pressure and impact force, so its strength and durability must be guaranteed to ensure the normal operation of the pipeline system. The following will introduce how to make carbon steel elbows more durable from the aspects of materials, manufacturing process, installation and maintenance.
I. Materials
The materials of carbon steel elbows are generally carbon steel, low alloy steel or high alloy steel and other materials, of which carbon steel elbows are more common. The selection of carbon steel elbow should consider its chemical composition, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance and other factors. Under normal circumstances, carbon steel elbows should be selected with low carbon content and low impurity content to ensure their strength and toughness.
