Hastelloy B3 N10675 pipe bend at cheap price
As with most piping considerations, understanding the ideal uses for bent pipe in your design or project is essential to the proper operation of the finished system.
Elbow is a standard fitting but the bends are custom fabricated. In Hastelloy B3 bends, as the pipe is bent and there is no welding involved, there is less pipe friction and flow is smoother. In elbows, the welding can create some friction. All elbows are bends but all bends are not elbows. Hastelloy B3 Bend has a larger radius than elbows. Generally, the most basic difference is the radius of curvature. Elbows generally have a radius of curvature between one to twice the diameter of the pipe. Hastelloy B3 Bends have a radius of curvature more than twice the diameter.
