Elbow plays a more important role in many places, because it plays a supporting and connecting role, and the material leaves can meet the needs of most users. Elbow materials are cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, calcinable iron, carbon steel, non-ferrous metals and plastics. Today we will come together to understand what is a stainless steel elbow.

Stainless steel elbow is made of stainless steel elbow, the chemical composition of stainless steel will keep the surface of the elbow for a long time will not rust, will not corrode. In the pipeline system, elbow is to change the direction of the pipe fittings. According to the angle, there are 45 ° and 90 ° 180 ° three most commonly used, in addition, according to the needs of the project also includes 60 ° and other non-normal angle elbow. Elbow materials are cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, calcined iron, carbon steel, non-ferrous metals and plastics.

Then how to install the stainless steel elbow?

1. stainless steel elbow valve packing gland bolts need to be tightened evenly, can not be pressed into a skewed state, to prevent damage to the stem movement caused by obstruction and leakage.

2. In the use of stainless steel elbow, be sure to keep clean, rotating threads must be regularly lubricated, if found fault, need to immediately stop using, to identify the cause of clearing the fault before putting into use.

3. In the installation, the stainless steel elbow can be installed directly on top of the pipeline in accordance with the connection method, according to the location of use. In general, can be installed in any one position above the pipeline, but because of the need to facilitate the inspection operation, pay attention to the flow direction of the stainless steel elbow medium is from the bottom of the valve flap up six, so the stainless steel elbow can only be installed horizontally.

4. In the installation of stainless steel elbow need to pay attention to its sealing performance, to prevent the emergence of leakage, which will have an impact on the normal operation of the pipeline.

The above is some knowledge about the elbow, I hope you can learn more about the elbow through these contents so that you can avoid some unnecessary trouble when choosing the elbow.
