How to Calculation Geometric Size of Elbow

 The elbow is a connection pipe fitting used to connect pipes and change the direction of the pipe in installation, so that the pipe can be turned at 90°, 45°, 180° and various degrees. Bending radius ≤ 1.5 times of pipe diameter is elbow, bending radius> 1.5 times of pipe diameter is bend.

Technical requirements for the produce elbows:


It is required to control the radius of curvature. For example, if the radius length is 1.5D, then the radius of curvature must be within the required tolerance range. Since most of these pipe fittings are used for welding, in order to improve the welding quality, the ends are beveled, with a certain angle and a certain side. This requirement is very strict. For the welding requirement, the steel material of the connected pipe should be the same.

1. 1.5 times the center height of the elbow A = diameter * 1.524, which is the diameter D * multiple, and the result will be the number after the decimal point is rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, the diameter D of 219 is 200, and the center height is 200*1.524=304.8, take 305; if the diameter of 114 is 100, the center height is 100*1.524=15.4, take 152. (The algorithm for the radius of curvature of elbows of DN100).

2. Poke height = center height + elbow radius, for example, the stamp height of an elbow with 1.5 times the diameter of 219 = 305 + 219/2=305+109.5=414.5

3. The length of the outer arc = (center height + radius) * 3.14 * 2/360 * degrees, that is (poke height) * 3.14 * 2/360 * degrees, from this, the length of the outer arc of the 90-degree elbow can be calculated=poke height*3.14/2

4. Inner arc length=(center height-radius)*3.14*2/360*degree

5. The blanking length of the elbow = the center height of the elbow * 3.14 / 2 * the outer diameter of the elbow / pipe diameter + (tube wall thickness * 3) + machining allowance, such as using a 180*8 pipe for blanking, push the system The 273 elbow can be calculated with the above formula, and the blanking length=381*1.57*273/180+24=931.22mm+ machining allowance.

The Method of Extending the Service Life of Seamless Pipe

图片
Seamless steel pipes   have hollow sections and are widely used as pipes for conveying fluids, such as pipes for conveying oil, natural gas, gas, water and certain solid materials. The seamless pipe has a certain corrosion resistance, but in order to prolong the service life of the seamless pipe in some extreme environments, it is necessary to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the product. The main cleaning method is pickling. After cleaning, electrolytic cleaning is required again. 1. The seamless steel pipe must wear labor protection supplies before pickling. The on-site working environment should also be checked in detail, mainly to check whether the hoisting of the steel pipe is intact, and work can only be carried out after confirming that it is intact. 2. When pickling seamless steel pipes, the pickling method is mainly hydrochloric acid pickling. Usually, the content of hydrochloric acid is preferably 18% to 20%. 3. The staff also need to know the concentration and temper

Methods of Connecting Spiral Pipes

图片
The most commonly used method of connecting   large-diameter spiral steel pipes   is welding. However, manufacturers also use threaded connections, flange connections, socket connections, and groove connections in projects. In the post,   Xiangjiasteel   would like to introduce you some details about three main connections. 1. Welding and Flange Connection Welding and flange connections are traditional methods of connecting spiral pipes. These methods do not fully meet market demands in terms of safety, sealing performance, cost efficiency, and repair efficiency. They are mainly used for water transmission pipelines, oil and gas pipelines, chemical pipelines, and power pipelines. 2. Clamp Fitting Connection Clamp fitting connections are an advanced method of pipe connections. They can be used for both exposed and buried installations, accommodating both rigid and flexible joints.  3. Groove Fitting Connection Groove fitting connections, also known as clamp connections, have become the

Exploring the Importance of Drill Pipe

图片
Oil Country Tubular Goods   (OCTG) are vital components in oil and gas drilling activities. The term OCTG refers to a range of piping products specifically designed for use in the production of oil and gas. These products include drill pipes, casing pipes, tubing pipes, couplings, connections, and accessories. In this article, we will focus on the significance of drill pipes, one of the three main types of OCTG pipes. A drill pipe is a robust, seamless tube that serves a crucial role in drilling operations. It facilitates the rotation of the drill bit and allows the circulation of drilling fluid. This fluid helps in pumping through the drill bit and flowing back up the annulus, the space between the casing and the piping. The Importance of Drill Pipe in OCTG Endeavors: Drill pipes are designed to withstand axial tension, high torque, and internal pressure. Their strength and durability make them indispensable in the oil and gas industry. Here are some key reasons why drill pipes are cr
