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.
Pipe bending allows systems to minimize pressure changes while still routing materials through complex piping systems.
As most bent pipes do not alter the ends of the piping, pipe bends are often easy to implement within a processing system using standard welding processes, flanges, or other connection methods.
The sheer variety of pipe bend sizes and materials also make them suitable for routing everything from hot or caustic liquids to maintaining pressure and movement in high viscosity liquids or those with suspended solids, such as Oil Sands slurry lines which contains a high concentration of silica sand.
As the most pipe bending methods are quite cost-efficient, using bent pipes and tubes will have a minimal impact on the overall design budget when using the ideal length and sizing for your application.
The standards are ASME B16.9 and B16.28 and the schedules range from sch5s to XXS.
The ASTM A420 Grade WPL6 can be seamless, welded or fabricated. There are different types of the fittings such as the unions, plugs, couplings, bends, caps and elbows.
The SA 420 WPL6 Elbow is one of the most used types in many applications because it is needed to change the direction of a pipe line.
The A420 Grade WPL6 fitting is used in pipelines in the paper and pulp industries, condensers, sea water, marine engineering, waste water management and pollution control systems.
ASTM A420 WPL6 Pipe Fittings are one kind of butt welding pipe fittings,they are commonly produced from the steel pipes of ASTM A333 Grade 6.
This material should be arranged the charpy V impact test in temperature of -46¡æ, to make sure it can work in a lower temperature service, for example in cold weather, winter or deep-sea water offshore projects.
ASTM A420 WPL6 Pipe Fittings such as WPL6 Caps, A420 WPL6 Weld Fittings, and SA 420 WPL6 Elbow. Our stock of low temperature steel fittings includes A420 Grade WPL6 fittings in a complete range of sizes and thicknesses.
ASTM A420 WPL6 are widely utilized in pressure piping and pressure vessel service at low-temperatures.
This grade of the fitting is used in constructions for use in pressure piping and pressure vessel service at low temperature. Also, this fitting is available in two types in welded and seamless.
They can be furnished in accordance with a variety of ASME and MSS standards.
In seamless fitting form it has size ¡°1/2 to 24¡± and in welded form¡±24 to 96¡± and thickness is available in SCH 10,20,30,40,80,100,120,140,160,XXS. It has dimensions like ANSI/ ASME B16.9, B16.28, MSS-SP-43.
According to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ASTM A420 WPL6 is not permitted for use in the construction of power boiler.
ASTM A420 is the standard specification for pipe fittings of carbon steel and alloy steel used for low temperature services. WPL6 is the most used grade material under A420.
ASTM A420 covers elbow, tee, reducer, cap, union and etc, which manufactured according to ASME B16.9, ASME B16.11, MSS SP-79 and MSS SP-95, types in seamless and welded structual pipe fittings.
These fittings commonly used in pressure pipelines and pressure vessel/tanks at lower temperature.
ASTM A420 WPL6 Pipe Fittings are made up of a carbon steel alloy that is made up of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and silicon.
The material has good strength with 240MPa minimum yield strength and 585MPa minimum tensile strength.
The LTCS A420 WPL6 Weld Fittings are greatly resistant against the sea water and marine environments with 1/8 inches to 48 inches nominal bore sizes.
A234 WPB Elbow is produced and supplied in the butt welded form. SA234 WPB Elbow usually comes in either of three angles; 22.5, 45 or 90 degrees.
ASTM A234 WPB Elbow is a standard specification for Piping Fittings of Wrought Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel suitable for for Moderate and High Temperature Service.
Elbow A234 WPB are devided into two categories which define the distance over which they change direction.
This is called as the “center to face” distance and is equivalent to the radius through which the ASTM A234 gr WPB elbow is bent.
A234 WPB SCH 80 Elbow is a standardization that conforms to schedule 80. ASTM A234 WPB Elbow could also be threaded or machined; sometimes it is also socketed.
ASTM A234 WPB is a common grade for 90 degree long radius elbow, which is one of the highly demanded. They available in a large size and thickness range. They have a good performance and suffices most industrial pipeline needs.
SA234 WPB Elbow is made up of carbon steel or alloy steel.
