What is a Pipe Bend?

A pipe bend is a generic term that contractors and structural engineers use to represent a change in the piping system direction. A pipe bends is a device that is used to change the direction of the flow. The Pipe Bend helps in creating an offset of the flow. These bends are very important as modern pipelines require fluid to travel in different directions. The Types of Bend in Pipeline are designed in hot and cold rolling procedures. These pipeline bends are generally available in compression bending, rotary draw bending, roll bending, and mandrel bending process. Pipe Bending companies don’t produce bends with any sharp corners, but they have a larger radius of curvature than twice the diameter. We are a Pipe Bend manufacturer who supplies pipes of different sizes to suit project requirements. This is why identifying the right use of the Bend Dn150 is essential for a finished operating system.

Why Pipe Bend Used In Pipeline?

A Steel Pipe Bend is primarily designed to influence the characteristics of the flow in the pipeline. These bends don’t require any welding process and there is lower friction in the flow, making it smoother. A 50mm Pipe Bend would minimize the routing pressure changes through complex piping systems. These bends are easy to implement and connect. The Schedule 40 Pipe Bends have excellent flexibility and offer outstanding thermal expansion.

ASME B16.49 Bend vs ASME B16.9 Bends

The ASME B16.49 Bend is a standard factory made wrought butt weld induction bends. They are used in transportation and distribution systems. ASME B16.9 Bends are factory made wrought butt weld fittings that are designed in sizes of NPS 1 ⁄ 2 to 48.

Fabricated Bends vs Buttweld Bends

A Buttweld Bend fitting can be produced in the seamless and welded specification. These fittings have good strength and are processed in hot or cold forming processes. Fabricated Bends are formed in definite sizes as per project requirements. These bends are strong and very reliable. Our company offers CNC Pipe Bending Services to all our customers at viable prices.
