Stainless steel seamless elbow is the key for pipeline bends! It is like a human joint that helps with flexible steering, allowing the pipeline system to turn and change direction without any leakage or air leakage! This seamless elbow is often made of stainless steel such as 304 and 316, with a built-in anti rust film on the surface, and will not produce rust spots after ten years of use in chemical plants.
When choosing the size of stainless steel seamless elbows, three key parameters need to be considered:
1、 Turning radius
Divided into long radius (gentle turns like highway ramps) and short radius (sharp turns like alley corners), refinery pipelines often use long radius to reduce fluid resistance.
2、 Thickness
High pressure pipelines in chemical plants will use thicker ones, such as covering gas tanks with explosion-proof layers.
3、 Caliber matching
When connecting the oil pipeline, it must be the same thickness as the original pipeline, otherwise it will leak oil just like inserting a large straw into a small cup.
