ASTM A234 WPB CS LR ELBOW 90 Degree, Casting, 20 Inch, SCH 80 Carbon Steel Elbow
Carbon steel elbow is a kind of metal pipe fitting which changes the direction of pipe on carbon steel pipe. The connection mode includes screw thread and welding. According to the angle, there are 45 ° and 90 ° 180 ° three most commonly used, in addition, according to the needs of the project, it also includes 60 ° and other abnormal angle elbows.
The advantages of carbon steel elbow manufacturing process are as follows:
(1) It is not necessary to use tube blank as raw material, which can save the cost of pipe making equipment and die, and can obtain any large diameter carbon steel elbow with relatively thin wall thickness.
(2) The blank is flat plate or developable curved surface, so the blanking is simple, the accuracy is easy to ensure, and the assembly and welding are convenient.
(3) Due to the above two reasons, the manufacturing cycle can be shortened and the production cost can be greatly reduced. Because no special equipment is needed, it is especially suitable for processing large carbon steel elbow on site.
(4) Carbon steel elbow is suitable for pipeline series of petroleum, natural gas, chemical industry, hydropower, construction and boiler industries.
Introduction
Elbow is a kind of pipe fittings commonly used in plumbing
installation, which is used to connect at the bend of pipe and to
change the direction of pipe.
Other names :90 elbow, right angle bend, love bend, punching elbow,
pressing elbow, mechanism elbow, welding elbow, etc.
Purpose: To connect two pipes with the same nominal diameter or
different diameter, so that the be turned 90,45,180 and various
degrees.
The bending radius is less than 1.5 times of the diameter of the
pipe, and 1.5 times of the diameter of the pipe belongs to the
elbow.
Process flow
Seamless elbow: elbow is a pipe fitting used at the bend of a pipe.
The largest proportion of all pipe fittings used in the pipeline
system is about 80. Usually, different forming processes are
selected for bends with different materials or wall thickness. The
seamless elbow forming process used by the manufacturer is hot
push, stamping, extrusion and so on.
Folding Thermal Push
The forming process of hot-push elbow is the process of using
special elbow pushing machine, core die and heating device to make
the blank set on the die move forward under the push of the pushing
machine, and be heated, expanded and bent in motion. The
deformation characteristic of hot push elbow is to determine the
diameter of pipe billet according to the law of constant volume
before and after plastic deformation of metal material. The
diameter of pipe billet is smaller than the diameter of elbow.
Compensate to other parts of the inner arc thinning due to diameter
expansion, thus obtaining a uniform wall thickness elbow.
The hot-push elbow forming process has the characteristics of
beautiful appearance, uniform wall thickness and continuous
operation, which is suitable for mass production, so it has become
the main forming method of carbon steel and alloy steel elbows, and
has also been applied in the forming of stainless steel elbows of
some specifications.
The heating mode of forming process includes intermediate frequency
or high frequency induction heating (heating ring can be multi-ring
or single ring), flame heating and reflecting furnace heating. The
heating mode depends on the requirements of forming product and
energy situation.
Stamping forming
stamping forming elbow is the earliest forming process used in
batch production of seamless elbow. it has been replaced by hot
push method or other forming process in the production of elbow of
common specifications, but in some specifications of elbow due to
less production quantity, too thick wall thickness or too thin.
The product is still in use when it has special requirements. The
punching forming of the elbow adopts the pipe billet equal to the
outer diameter of the elbow, and the press is used to press the die
directly.
Before stamping, the tube billet is placed on the lower die, the
inner core and the end die are loaded into the tube billet, the
upper die moves down and begins to press, and the elbow is formed
by the constraint of the outer die and the support of the inner
die.
Compared with the hot push process, the appearance quality of
stamping forming is not as good as that of the former, and the
outer arc of stamping elbow is in the tensile state when forming,
and there is no extra metal in other parts to compensate, so the
wall thickness at the outer arc is about 10% thinner. But because
it is suitable for single piece production and low cost, stamping
elbow process is mostly used in the manufacture of small batch and
thick wall elbow.
Stamping elbows are divided into cold stamping and hot stamping,
usually according to the material properties and equipment capacity
to choose cold stamping or hot stamping.
The forming process of cold extrusion elbow is to use a special
elbow forming machine to put the tube billet into the outer die.
After the upper and lower die is molded, the tube billet moves
along the gap reserved for the inner die and the outer die under
the push rod.
The elbow made by internal and external die cold extrusion process
is beautiful in appearance, uniform in wall thickness and small in
size deviation. The precision of internal and external die used in
this process is high, and the deviation of wall thickness of pipe
billet is also harsh.
Medium plate welding
Use a medium plate to make half of the elbow section with a press,
and then weld the two sections together. A process such as this is
generally used as a bend above the DN700.
Folding other forming methods
In addition to the above three commonly used forming processes,
seamless elbow forming also adopts the forming process of extruding
the tube billet into the outer die and then passing through the
ball shaping in the tube billet. However, this process is
relatively complex and difficult to operate, and the forming
quality is not as good as the previous process, so it is less used
