Carbon steel elbow is one of the most commonly used pipe fittings in the pipeline system, which is used to change the flow direction of the pipeline. It has many technical characteristics, including material selection, manufacturing process, connection mode and so on. The following will introduce the technical characteristics of carbon steel elbow in detail.
1. Material selection:
Carbon steel elbow is mainly made of carbon steel, carbon steel has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, suitable for a wide range of industrial fields. According to different working environment and requirements, carbon steel elbow can choose different grades and specifications of carbon steel materials, such as ASTM A234 WPB, ASTM A105 and so on. The selection of materials should be comprehensively considered according to factors such as pressure, temperature and medium.
2. Manufacturing process:
The manufacturing process of carbon steel elbow mainly includes two ways: cold bending and hot bending. Cold bending is to bend the steel pipe through the common pipe bending machine, which is suitable for the manufacture of elbows with small diameters and small corners. Hot bending is the bending of the steel pipe under high temperature conditions, which can produce a bend with a larger diameter and a larger Angle. The choice of manufacturing process depends on the specific requirements and conditions.
