Special Fittings
Custom Bends for Industrial Piping Systems
Special fittings such as mitre bends and long-radius bends are used in piping systems where standard elbows are not suitable. These fittings are designed to control flow direction while maintaining pressure integrity and minimizing turbulence. They are commonly used in industrial pipelines, process plants, and structural piping layouts requiring custom bending solutions.
5D Bend
5D bends are long-radius pipe bends where the centerline radius is five times the pipe diameter. These bends reduce pressure loss and flow resistance compared to short-radius elbows.
They are widely used in pipelines requiring smooth flow transition and reduced stress concentration.
6D Bend
6D bends provide an even longer radius curvature compared to 5D bends, allowing smoother flow and reduced turbulence. These bends are commonly used in high-flow industrial pipelines and long-distance piping systems.
They are suitable for applications where minimizing pressure drop and mechanical stress is important.
Mitre Bend
Mitre bends are fabricated by cutting and welding pipe segments at specific angles to achieve the desired change in direction. These bends are typically used in large-diameter piping systems where standard elbows are not feasible.
Mitre bends are suitable for low to moderate pressure applications and are commonly used in structural and industrial pipelines.
