Do you know what tools are used for the installation of stainless steel seamless elbows? The reasonable selection of tools and the standardized operation of personnel can ensure the secure installation and reliable sealing of stainless steel seamless elbows.
Let’s take a look at the tools required for installing stainless steel seamless elbows together:
(Cutting and polishing tools)
1. Manual pipe cutter
Used for precise cutting of stainless steel pipes, ensuring a smooth cut and avoiding burrs that may affect installation sealing; Supporting the use of metal profile cutting machines to process large-diameter pipelines, improving efficiency.
2. Deburring device
After cutting, remove the burrs on the inner wall or incision of the pipeline to avoid scratching the sealing ring or affecting the welding quality.
3. Angular polishing machine
Used for polishing welded seams or pipe interfaces to ensure a smooth and impurity free surface.
(Connection and fixing tools)
1. Hydraulic tools
There are manual hydraulic pliers and electric hydraulic pliers respectively: manual hydraulic pliers are used in small engineering scenarios, and the clamping connection is completed through hydraulic pressure; Electric hydraulic pliers are suitable for handling large engineering quantities, with higher efficiency and the ability to install ring pressure elbows in bulk.
2. Welding equipment
Both argon arc welding machine and electric welding machine can be used for welding seamless stainless steel elbows and pipelines, which requires the use of stainless steel welding wire to ensure a firm weld seam.
3. Wrenches and bolt tools
Open end wrench (14-17mm), socket wrench, etc., used to tighten flange connection bolts or valve fittings.
(Auxiliary tools)
1. Electric drill/hammer
When drilling holes for installing brackets or fixing pipelines, expansion bolts should be used in conjunction.
2. Measuring tools
Ensure accurate installation angles (such as 90 °, 45 °) and positions of elbows using tape measures, level gauges, angle gauges, etc.
3. Sealing material
Raw material tape, high-temperature resistant sealant or graphite gasket to enhance the sealing performance of flange or threaded connections.
In addition, special scenarios also require specialized tools for ring pressing and polishing machines. When installing seamless stainless steel elbows with ring pressure, it is necessary to match the corresponding diameter clamp seat and jaw to ensure tight ring pressure without leakage. The polishing machine is used to polish exposed elbows to improve their aesthetic appeal and is more suitable for decorative pipelines.
