High-Tolerance 304/316L Stainless Steel Elbows: Engineered for Hydraulic Precision in Extreme-Pressure Systems
Precision in Extreme-Pressure Systems
Crafted from corrosion-resistant 304/316L austenitic stainless steel, these elbows optimize fluid dynamics with a seamless radius design, minimizing turbulence and pressure loss in critical oil/gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical pipelines. Compliant with ASME B16.9, their polished ID surface and reinforced weld joints withstand pressures up to 1,500 psi while resisting pitting, chloride stress cracking, and thermal fatigue.
Key Advantages:
Ultra-Smooth Flow: Precision-machined 1.5D/5D radii reduce shear stress in high-velocity media.
Cryogenic to High-Temp Durability: Rated for -425°F to 1,500°F (-254°C to 816°C).
Certified Reliability: ASTM A403 compliance with optional NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 for sour service.
Ideal for refining, LNG, or sterile processing-where directional shifts demand zero compromise.
Stainless Steel Long Radius Elbow: Uncompromised Flow Integrity in Hostile Environments
Ultra-Hydraulic Design
Engineered with a 1.5D bend radius, these ASME B16.9-compliant elbows eliminate turbulence and shear stress in high-velocity pipelines, reducing pressure drop by up to 25% compared to short-radius alternatives. Ideal for maintaining laminar flow in chemical transfer, seawater injection, or high-purity pharmaceutical systems.
Material Mastery
Premium Alloys: 304/316/316L stainless steel (ASTM A403 WP/WX) for unmatched resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride stress cracking.
Temperature Resilience: Operates reliably from -425°F to 1,500°F (-254°C to 815°C)-suited for cryogenic LNG or refinery coker units.
Critical Applications
Marine & Offshore: Saltwater cooling loops, subsea umbilicals.
Chemical Processing: Sulfuric acid lines, chlorine gas headers.
Food & Pharma: Sanitary electropolished (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) finishes meet 3-A/SMS standards.
Precision Engineering
Seamless/Welded Options: Radiographic (RT) or dye penetrant (PT) tested for leak-proof performance in ASME B31.3 systems.
Surface Versatility: Mechanically polished (180-320 grit) for aesthetics or electropolished for CIP/SIP compatibility.
Certifications & Compliance
NACE MR0175: Certified for sour service (H₂S environments).
PED & AD2000: CE-marked for EU pressure equipment compliance.
