Leesh Bends, with materials of API 5L PSL1 and PSL2 alloy steel and stainless steel, are essential components in piping systems. Here is a detailed introduction:
- Alloy Steel Bends: The alloy steel used often contains elements such as chromium and molybdenum. According to API 5L standards, PSL1 and PSL2 represent different levels of product specification levels, with PSL2 having higher requirements in terms of chemical composition, mechanical properties, and testing requirements. Alloy steel bends have excellent high – temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. They are widely used in harsh environments, such as oil and gas pipelines, where they can withstand high – pressure, high – temperature, and corrosive media. In addition, they are also commonly seen in chemical plants and power generation facilities.
- Stainless Steel Bends: Stainless steel bends are usually made of common grades such as 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. They have good corrosion resistance due to the formation of a passive oxide film on the surface. Stainless steel bends are suitable for occasions with high requirements for hygiene and corrosion resistance, such as the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical plants, and marine engineering. The bends made of duplex stainless steel, which combines the advantages of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, have higher strength and better stress – corrosion cracking resistance, and are widely used in the oil and gas and pulp and paper industries.
- Manufacturing Process and Standards: China Bends are often manufactured by hot induction bending or hot – pressing processes. The production process needs to comply with relevant international standards such as ASME, ANSI, DIN, and national standards GB. After production, strict inspections are carried out, including dimensional and visual inspections, hydrostatic tests, and non – destructive testing, to ensure the quality and performance of the bends.
- Application Fields: Products made of these materials are widely used in the oil and gas, chemical, power, and construction industries. They are used to change the direction of the pipeline, connect different pipeline sections, and are an important part of ensuring the smooth operation of the pipeline system.
