Stainless steel elbows are a type of stainless steel pipe fittings that have good performance and are widely used due to their comprehensive advantages.
Stainless steel elbows are a type of stainless steel pipe fittings that have good performance and are widely used due to their comprehensive advantages. The stainless steel pipe fittings manufacturer told us that maintenance work needs to be done for stainless steel elbows during use. Now let's analyze it specifically.
1. When using stainless steel elbow ball valves, globe valves, and gate valves, they should only be fully open or fully closed, and are not allowed to be used for regulating flow to avoid erosion of the sealing surface and accelerated wear. There is a reverse sealing device inside the gate valve and the upper threaded globe valve. By turning the handwheel to the upper position and tightening it, the medium can be prevented from leaking from the packing.
2. Stainless steel elbows stored for a long time should be inspected regularly, and the exposed processing surfaces should be kept clean, cleaned of dirt, and neatly stored indoors in a ventilated and dry place. Stacking or outdoor storage is strictly prohibited. Always keep the stainless steel elbow dry and ventilated, keep the retainer clean and tidy, and store it according to accurate storage methods
2. When installing, the stainless steel elbow can be directly installed on the pipeline according to the connection method, and installed according to the position of use. In general, it can be installed at any position in the pipeline, but it needs to be easy to operate for inspection. Note that the flow direction of the medium in the cut-off stainless steel elbow should be upward from below the longitudinal valve disc, and the stainless steel elbow can only be installed horizontally. When installing stainless steel elbows, attention should be paid to sealing to prevent leakage and affect the normal operation of the pipeline. The commonly used grades of precipitation hardening stainless steel include 04Cr13Ni8Mo2Al, etc. Stainless steel that can be hardened (strengthened) through precipitation hardening (also known as age hardening) treatment.
Stainless steel pipes, as water, gas, and oil supply pipes, have significant characteristics compared to traditional pipes. They are clean, hygienic, durable, and safe to use, making them a great choice for pipe products.
