The main difference between stainless steel elbows and carbon steel elbows is the material, and the chemical composition it contains will keep the surface of the elbow from rusting or corrosion for a long time.
In piping systems, elbows are fittings that change the direction of the pipeline. According to the angle, there are three most commonly used types: 45 °, 90 °, and 180 °. In addition, other abnormal angle elbows such as 60 ° are also included according to engineering needs.
The materials for elbows include cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, malleable cast iron, carbon steel, non-ferrous metals, and plastics. The methods of connecting with pipes include direct welding (the most commonly used method) flange connection, hot melt connection, electric melt connection, threaded connection, and socket connection. According to the production process, it can be divided into welded elbows, stamped elbows, hot pressed elbows, push made elbows, cast elbows, forged elbows, clamp elbows, etc. Other names: 90 ° Bend, Right Angle Bend, Love Bend, White Steel Bend, etc.
According to the standard production, it can be transformed into:
1. According to manufacturing standards, it can be divided into national standards, ship standards, electrical standards, water standards, American standards, German standards, Japanese standards, Russian standards, etc.
2. According to the production method, it can be divided into pushing, pressing, forging, casting, etc.
90 ° stainless steel elbow is mainly used as a connecting pipe fitting in pipeline installation, for the connection of pipeline bends. Connect two pipes with the same or different nominal diameters and make a 90 degree turn in the pipeline.
