Do you know? Stainless steel elbows are divided into stainless steel seamless elbows and stainless steel seamed elbows, so what is the difference between the two?
1. Raw materials
The raw material is the main difference between the two. Stainless steel seamless elbows are made of seamless pipes, while stainless steel seamed elbows refer to butt welding elbows and straight seam elbows, which are welded with straight seam steel pipes or steel plates.
2. Weld seam
As the name suggests, the stainless steel seamless elbow has no weld, and there is a weld in the straight seam elbow.
3. Purpose
Stainless steel seamless pipes are used in a very large amount in industrial pipelines, and they are also the pipes with the most varieties and specifications. Seamless pipes are used for all pressure pipes; seamed elbows are mostly used to transport medium at room temperature, low pressure, and not strong corrosion, such as low pressure Steam, underground circulating water, gas, oil and gas, etc.
4. Price
Stainless steel seamless elbows are more expensive, and stainless steel seamed elbows are mainly made of steel plates (steel strips) by secondary welding, so the prices are cheaper.
