MS Return-U Bend 180 Degree Sch 40 Short Radius
MS Return-U Bend 180 Degree Sch 40 Short Radius
MS Return-U Bend 180 Degree Sch 40 Short Radius is a metal pipe fittings designed to localize momentary concentric stress by reducing the internal and external pressure by providing a sufficient radius. This fitting is elliptically shaped, reducing turbulence and pressure losses through the pipe, while providing 180-degree U-bend geometry.
This fitting is constructed using ASTM A53 Grade B steel, ASTM A106 Grade B material, or other metals such as stainless steel, brass, and copper, depending on the requirement. It is available in a range of sizes, ranging from 15 mm to 600 mm. Pressure ratings of the fitting vary with the size and materials used for construction. It is typically rated at a maximum pressure of 175 pounds per square inch (psi) for Schedule 40 steel.
The bend radius of this fittings is short, allowing for tight turns and 90-degree turns in tight spaces. It is used for installing pipes on tight installation sites, for applications where lateral stress is limited, such as low-pressure systems, and for those with limited space in areas such as tight corners. It is also used when making steam pipe fittings or liquid plumbing systems.
This fitting is manufactured using a hot-dip galvanizing process that embeds zinc into the ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 materials, providing resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It comes in galvanized, black, and stainless steel finishes. The black finish is typically used for aesthetic purposes, while the galvanized and stainless steel finishes are more suitable for industrial applications.
MS Return-U Bend 180 Degree Sch 40 Short Radius is ideal for achieving tight bends and providing a secure fit for the pipes used in a variety of applications. It is strong and durable, making it a reliable choice for pipe connection applications. The minimal design of this fitting helps reduce pressure losses, allowing for superior performance.
