Socket elbow 45 °
Structural characteristics
Socket connection: One end of the socket elbow is a socket, and the other end is a socket. When installing, insert one end of the pipeline into the socket of the socket elbow, and then fix it by welding, bonding or other sealing methods to tightly connect the pipeline with the elbow. This connection method can effectively protect the sealing performance of the connection.
45 ° bending angle: The bending angle of 45 ° makes the pipeline smoother when changing direction, and the resistance of fluid flow in the pipeline is relatively small, which can reduce pressure loss and improve fluid transport efficiency.
material
Metal materials: Common ones include stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, etc. Stainless steel socket elbows have good corrosion resistance (based on actual reports) and hygiene, and are suitable for industries such as food, medicine, and chemical; Carbon steel material has low cost and high strength, and is widely used in general industrial pipelines and building water supply and drainage pipelines; Alloy steel material has high strength, high temperature resistance (based on actual reports), and high pressure resistance, and is commonly used in special occasions with high requirements for pipeline performance.
Non metallic materials: such as plastic, ceramics, etc. Plastic socket elbows have the advantages of good corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), light weight, and easy installation, and are commonly used in industries such as building water supply and drainage, agricultural irrigation, etc; Ceramic socket elbows have high performance and corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), and are suitable for some high wear and strong corrosion working conditions, such as material conveying pipelines in industries such as mining and metallurgy.
Application industry
Building water supply and drainage system: In the water supply and drainage pipes inside the building, 45 ° socket elbows are commonly used to change the direction of the pipes, so that the pipes can better adapt to the requirements of the building structure and layout. For example, in the layout of pipelines in areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, the use of 45 ° socket elbows can achieve flexible turning of pipelines and protect smooth drainage.
Industrial piping systems: In industries such as chemical, petroleum, and power, 45 ° socket elbows are widely used in various process pipelines. It can be used to change the direction of fluid flow and meet the pipeline connection requirements between different process equipment. For example, in the connection of inlet and outlet pipelines of equipment such as reaction vessels and storage tanks in chemical production, 45 ° socket elbows are often used.
Fire protection system: In the fire protection pipeline system, a 45 ° socket elbow is also one of the excellent fittings. It can enable the fire water (based on actual reports) to smoothly change direction in the pipeline, confirming that in the event of a fire, the fire water (based on actual reports) can reach the location that needs to be extinguished at an appropriate speed and accurately.
Installation precautions
Pipeline cleaning: Before installing the socket elbow, it is necessary to clean the connection end of the pipeline to remove impurities such as oil stains, rust, and burrs on the surface, in order to protect the good fit and sealing effect between the pipeline and the elbow.
Insertion Scale: During installation, it is necessary to confirm that the scale of the pipeline inserted into the socket meets the requirements, which are generally specified in the product manual. Inserting too shallowly may result in weak connections and easy leakage; Inserting too deeply may affect the normal use of the pipeline, and even damage the elbow or pipeline.
Sealing treatment: Choose the appropriate sealing method according to different materials and usage requirements. For metal material socket elbows, common sealing methods include welding, flange connection with gasket sealing, etc; For plastic material socket elbows, sealing methods such as hot melt connection and adhesive bonding can be used. During the sealing process, it is necessary to ensure that the sealing material is evenly applied or installed to avoid situations where the seal is not tight.
