Pipe or tube is bent using a combination of dies and other various components working in a rotary action.
This action draws the pipe or tube forward making the desired bend.
Rotary draw bending can also utilize mandrels.
Bending a pipe or tube using a stationary die while a counter die bends the material around the stationary die.
Used when large radius bends or curves are required, this method passes a piece of pipe or tube through a series of three rollers in a pyramid configuration to achieve the desired curve.
While there are slight variances to different hot pipe bending methods, nearly all are a form of induction bending.
While fitting and sizing bent pipes might seem complex at first, a basic understanding of the measurements used make matching them to your existing system or integrating them into a new design straightforward.
Process piping systems rarely travel in a straight line from process to process.
Pipe bending methods will vary based upon the metals used.
Modern processing systems are often a complex network of turns, elevation changes, fittings, and more.
When standard 90-degree elbows won¡¯t work with your system design or space requirements, bent pipes and tubing are an excellent routing option.
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.
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.
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.
