Seamless elbow is an important pipe fitting used in pipe systems, its role is to connect different parts of the pipe and change the flow of the pipe. As a common pipe connector, seamless elbow has a wide range of applications in industrial fields. In this article, I will give you a detailed introduction to the characteristics, classification, manufacturing process, application range and the importance of providing satisfactory service to customers.
First of all, let's take a look at the characteristics of seamless elbows. Seamless elbows are made of seamless steel pipes and have no internal welds compared to other types of elbows, so they have higher strength and pressure resistance. In addition, the seamless elbow has a smooth appearance and no raised welds, providing good fluid transfer performance. These characteristics make seamless elbows widely used in high pressure, high temperature and high fluid transmission requirements.
According to the different curvature radius of the elbow, seamless elbow can be divided into long radius elbow and short radius elbow. The curvature radius of the long radius elbow is 1.5 times the diameter of the pipe, which is suitable for situations where the fluid transmission is relatively gentle. The curvature radius of the short radius elbow is 1 times the diameter of the pipe, which is suitable for the case of limited space. In addition, according to the Angle of the elbow, the seamless elbow can also be divided into 90 degrees elbow, 45 degrees elbow, 180 degrees elbow and so on.
The manufacturing process of seamless elbow mainly includes cold drawing, hot extrusion and hot bending. The cold drawing process involves placing heat-treated seamless steel pipes into a suitable mold and forming elbows by drawing and stamping.
