The difference between a bend and an elbow

1. Different manufacturing processes

The essential difference between elbow and elbow is mainly the difference between "head" and "tube". In addition, production techniques vary greatly. In the process of bending, both hot and cold bends can be made from tubes. Then use a pipe bending machine to bend directly. The bends can be manufactured once without secondary corrosion protection, but they need to be customized by the manufacturer, requiring corrosion protection and a long cycle time.

2. Different prices

The price of the elbow is lower than that of the elbow, but if you do not do corrosion protection, it is easy to damage. However, due to its low price, it has been widely used in some less demanding projects.

3. Different application scope

In a good construction environment, elbows and bends can be used. If cost is the only consideration, choose a cold bend. After all, hot bends are of better quality, but they cost a lot. During construction, elbows are more suitable for use in relatively narrow places because of the convenience of construction. The elbow needs to consider the specific construction environment. Although they can also be used in cramped environments. But in use often meet some trouble.

In fact, from a component production point of view. The elbow is actually a kind of elbow, but the elbow is relatively short. Of course, in the actual construction process, if we need to change the direction, we can choose which one to use according to the specific construction conditions.
