Do You Know How Much Pressure Stainless Steel Elbows Can Withstand?

Do you know how much pressure stainless steel elbows can withstand?

The smaller the diameter of Stainless Steel Weld Elbow, the greater the pressure it can withstand, because it disperses the pressure per unit area. The same wall thickness of the pipe is 6 mm thick, and the outer diameter of the elbow is 114. Its working pressure is about 40KG, but in fact its breaking pressure is above 500KG. When the temperature of the medium is at room temperature, the elbow can be compressed only when it can withstand such a large pressure per square. However, under the same thickness and temperature, when the outer diameter of the elbow is 219 and the thickness is still 6 mm, its working pressure is about 25KG, and its actual breaking pressure is about 240KG. Why do elbows of the same thickness have different breaking pressures? The main reason is that the inner wall area of ​​the 219 elbow is much larger than that of the 114 elbow.

Temperature is also an important factor affecting the pressure resistance of stainless steel elbows. The working temperature of the stainless steel elbows we produce generally cannot exceed -196℃~800℃, because as the temperature rises, the pressure-bearing capacity of the elbow becomes smaller and smaller. When the temperature is low, the pressure will be much higher. If it exceeds this limit, the thickness of the elbow material must be increased to ensure the normal operation of the stainless steel elbow.
