How to distinguish between seamless stainless steel elbows and welded elbows? It can be compared mainly in terms of appearance, craftsmanship, characteristics, usage, and cost.
From an appearance perspective, there are no welds on the surface of the stainless steel seamless elbow, while there are obvious welds on the welded elbow.
From the perspective of manufacturing process analysis, stainless steel seamless elbows are mostly made of seamless pipes without welds; Welding elbows include butt welded elbows and straight seam elbows, each with two or one weld seam.
From the perspective of performance characteristics, stainless steel seamless elbows are non-toxic and hygienic, with good corrosion and heat resistance, strong impact resistance, and long service life; The welded elbow needs to be slightly inferior.
From the perspective of usage, stainless steel seamless elbows are commonly used in pipelines or structural components for fluid transportation, especially in the mechanical industry; Welding elbows are commonly used in the construction industry, such as for low-pressure fluids such as water, gas, compressed air, etc.
From a cost perspective, stainless steel seamless elbows have higher costs due to the complexity of the production process.
