Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow for Oil and gas production safety lifts and valves
Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow have corrosion resistance in an extensive range of marine and chemical environments. From pure water to non-oxidising mineral acids, salts and alkalis.
The combination of very low corrosion rates in high-velocity sea water and high strength make it well-suited for marine shafts in stagnant or slow-moving sea water, fouling may occur followed by pitting but this pitting slows down after a fairly rapid initial attack. Alloy K500 pipe bend and elbow are refined by Electro Slag Refining (ESR), ensuring the cleanest and highest quality of material is supplied. This increased alloy purity limits the likelihood of hard non-metallic inclusion that can increase machining difficulty, processing times and ultimately part failures. It also has low permeability and is nonmagnetic to temperatures.
