A234 WP11 CL2 Alloy Steel Pipe Elbow, Long Radius, SMLS, 38 Inch, 90 DEG, Wrought.
In the pipeline system, the elbow is a pipe fitting that changes
the direction of the pipeline. 45 and 90 by angle Three of the most
commonly used, in addition to engineering needs including 60 other
abnormal angle elbow. The elbow materials are cast iron, stainless
steel, alloy steel, malleable cast iron, carbon steel, non-ferrous
metals and plastics.
The way to connect with the pipe is: direct welding (the most
commonly used way) flange connection, hot melt connection, fused
connection, thread connection and socket connection. According to
the production process can be divided into: welding elbow, stamping
elbow, push elbow, casting elbow, butt welding bend, etc. Other
name :90 degree bend, right angle bend, etc.
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 less than 1.5 times equal to the diameter of the
pipe belongs to the elbow, and 1.5 times greater than the diameter
of the pipe belongs to the bend
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.
Folding 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.
