Hastelloy B3 N10675 pipe bend for more efficient surface for shipping or another application
Pipe or tube is bent using a combination of dies and other various components working in a rotary action.
Hastelloy B3 Bends are usually custom-made (using a bending machine) on site and suited for a specific need. Hastelloy B3 Pipe bends typically have a minimum bending radius of 1.5 times pipe radius (R). If this bending radius is less than 1.5R, it is called Elbow. Reference to any international / industry standard need to be traced. 1.5, 3 and 4.5 R are the most common bending radii in industry. Hastelloy B3 pipe bend typically flows smoother since there are not irregular surfaces on the inside of the pipe, nor does the fluid have to change direction abruptly.
