ASME B16.11 stainless steel elbows are used and maintained in a correct and reasonable way, which can prolong the service life. Pipe fitting manufacturers are Knowledge of the use and maintenance of stainless steel elbows as follows:
Ball valve of ASME B16.11 stainless steel elbow, stop valve, gate valve only when fully open or fully closed, do not allow to adjust the flow, so as to avoid erosion of the sealing surface and accelerate wear. The gate valve and the upper thread stop valve have a reverse sealing device, and the hand wheel is screwed to the uppermost position to prevent the medium from leaking from the packing.
long-term storage of ASME B16.11 stainless steel elbows should be checked on schedule, often the exposed surface must be kept clean, remove dirt, neatly stored in a place where the room is airy and dry, no stacking or open storage. Always keep the stainless steel elbow dry and ventilated, keep the cleaner clean and tidy, and store it according to the exact storage method.
When installing, the ASME B16.11 stainless steel elbow can be directly installed on the pipeline according to the connection mode, and installed according to the position used. Under normal circumstances, it can be installed at any position of the pipeline, but it is easy to check the operation. Keep in mind that the flow direction of the stainless steel elbow should be upward from the longitudinal valve. The stainless steel elbow can only be installed horizontally.Stainless steel elbows should be carefully sealed during installation to prevent leakage and affect the normal operation of the pipeline.
ASME B16.11 stainless steel elbow is a tube that is bent at an angle or curve, allowing the straight tube to be joined at an angle. The size and shape of the stainless steel elbows are completely dependent on the needs of the user.
