Do you know anything about bends and elbows? Do you know the difference between these two pipe parts? Let's take a look.

Elbows and bends are fittings used to change the direction of a pipe. These two pipe fittings are widely used in construction. In practice, however, elbows behave differently than bends and are used much more often than bends. Although many people know about elbows and bends, the difference between a bend and an elbow is not very clear. Therefore, the following Xiaobian introduces the difference between elbow and elbow, let's take a look.

Before we can understand the difference between a bend and a bend, we need to know what a bend is. What is a bend? Elbow is a kind of bend pipe fitting, is a common pipe fitting, is usually manufactured according to specific needs. The bend is much longer than the elbow. Compared to usage, the elbow is a fully integrated curve pipe, and the elbow is a part that changes the direction of the pipe. Although they are both components that change the direction of the pipeline, there are many differences between them.

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.

The above is the difference between elbow and elbow. I hope these contents can help you better understand elbow and elbow. In the process of construction, you can also choose elbow and elbow two different pipe parts according to your own actual situation, so as to better complete the construction and improve the quality of construction.

Cangzhou Shenlong Pipe specializes in the production of steel pipe and pipe fittings, including elbow, tee, reducer, etc., the product quality is guaranteed, can arrange SGS inspection, is the first choice for some large projects.
