15CrMoG Bending

15CrMoG bending is a pipe bend that used in high-pressure boiler of heating surface tubes.

15CrMoG bending is a pipe bend that used in high-pressure boiler (working pressure 9.8MPa or more generally, the working temperature between 450650 of heating surface tubes, header, economizer, superheater, reheater and so on. Its performance is much higher than the general seamless steel pipe, because the inside of this tube contains CR more, its alloy steel tube high temperature, low-temperature, corrosion resistance of other seamless steel tubes, so the alloy tube in the petroleum, chemical, electric power, boiler and other industries are more widely used.

What is 15crmo equivalent astm material material?

15CrMoG is a type of steel commonly used in power generation equipment and industrial boilers. Bending refers to the process of shaping or curving the steel to a desired angle or shape without breaking or damaging it. Therefore, 15CrMoG bending could refer to the process of shaping this specific type of steel using bending machines or techniques to create certain components or structures for boilers or other equipment.

The production method of seamless steel pipe can be roughly divided into cross rolling method (menesmann method) and extrusion method. The cross rolling method (menesmann method) is to pierce the tube blank with the cross roll first, and then extend it with the rolling mill. This method is fast in production, but requires high machinability of tube blank. It is mainly suitable for producing carbon steel and low alloy steel tube, 15crmo equivalent ASTM material tube.

In the face of domestic and foreign steel situation, based on the advantages of production and inventory, we have established our own processing center, and our manufacturing includes different types. Steel 15CrMo equivalent ASTM material surface treatment such as steel pretreatment (shot peening and shop primer), steel galvanizing; steel structure processing such as cutting, drilling, milling, turning, bending, welding, etc.

The mechanical properties of 15CrMo equivalent ASTM material, boiler pressure components steel include strength, plasticity, toughness and fatigue properties. Temperature has a great influence on the mechanical properties of steel. With the increase of temperature, the yield limit of all kinds of steel will monotonically decrease, but the tensile strength will rise to a high peak at a certain temperature, and then decrease.

The main competitive means adopted by major domestic ports are to expand ports, build deep-water berths and channels, improve service quality to reduce the comprehensive cost of customers, and at the same time, to improve competitive advantage, we should also take appropriate measures to reduce relevant costs and prices.

Heat Treatment of 15CrMo Alloy Round Steel

Heat treatment is a highly effective means of improving and modifying the properties of 15CrMo alloy round steel. It plays a very important role in product reliability and economy. Heat treatment of 15CrMo alloy round steel usually includes ordinary heat treatment (annealing, normalising, quenching, tempering) and surface heat treatment (surface quenching and chemical heat treatment - carburising, nitriding, metallising, etc.).

In mechanical engineering, many machine parts, such as crankshafts, gears, camshafts of internal combustion engines and gears in important reduction gears, require not only sufficient toughness, plasticity and bending strength in the core, but also a high surface thickness within a certain thickness. hardness, high wear resistance and high fatigue strength. It is difficult to meet the above performance requirements simultaneously with the above various overall heat treatment methods, and the use of surface heat treatment is the most effective method to meet these performance requirements simultaneously.

Surface heat treatment is a heat treatment method that changes the surface properties of 15CrMo alloy round steel by changing the structure of the surface layer.

Surface quenching is a heat treatment that gradually changes the surface structure without changing the chemical composition of the surface. It can be carried out by high-frequency, medium-frequency or power-frequency induction heating method or flame heating method. The common feature is that the surface of 15CrMo alloy round steel is quickly heated to the quenching temperature, and when the heat is not transferred to the core of the part, it is quickly cooled, so that the surface hardness is high, but the core still has high toughness.

Chemical heat treatment is a heat treatment method that changes the chemical composition and structure of the surface layer of 15CrMo alloy round steel. Chemical heat treatment can be divided into methods such as carburizing, nitriding, carbonitriding and metallising according to the different elements infiltrated on the surface of 15CrMo alloy round steel. It is very effective in improving and enhancing the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance of 15CrMo alloy round steel. At present, chemical heat treatment has developed rapidly, and there are many applications of new technologies.

What Is a Pipe Bend?

Pipe Bend Manufacturing Process

Pipe Bend Manufacturing Process

A pipe bend is a change in direction within a piping system, commonly referred to as an offset.

Pipe bends are usually custom manufactured using bending machines and are designed for specific routing requirements. Unlike elbows, bends provide a smoother flow path and reduced turbulence.

The most common bend radii used in industry are 1.5D, 3D, 5D and 10D. Long-radius bends generally provide lower pressure loss and improved flow performance.

Pipe bends are widely used in chemical processing, oil & gas, power generation, shipbuilding, metallurgy and many other industrial applications.


The Radii of Bend Pipes

Bend pipes are available in various radii including 3D, 4D, 5D, 8D and 10D configurations. For example, the centerline radius of a 5D bend equals five times the nominal pipe diameter.

Modern pipe bending equipment enables highly accurate manufacturing with excellent dimensional control and repeatability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pipe fittings are used to connect pipes, change pipeline direction, branch flow or adjust pipe diameter. They are available in various materials to suit different conveyed fluids and gases.
Most pipe fittings are threaded or socket type. For both steel and PVC pipes, chemical solvent is usually applied to form a reliable seal between pipes and fittings.
Measure the overall required pipe length, and reserve extra length for the part that will be inserted into fittings, then mark the exact length on the pipe before cutting.
All buttweld fittings are made with bevelled ends. Bevel is required when wall thickness exceeds 4 mm for austenitic stainless steel and 5 mm for ferritic stainless steel. The bevel shape is determined by actual wall thickness, which is essential for butt welding work.
Welding bevel follows ASME / ANSI B16.9 and ASME / ANSI B16.28. Preparation of buttwelding ends is regulated by ASME B16.25. Relevant requirements are also included in ASME B16.5, B16.34 and other related standards.
ASME B16.25 specifies requirements for end preparation of piping components for butt welding, including welding bevels, internal and external shaping for heavy-wall components, dimensions and dimensional tolerances.
Square cut or slight chamfer is acceptable optionally: for carbon steel and ferritic alloy steels when wall thickness t ≤ 0.19"; for austenitic alloy steels when wall thickness t ≤ 0.12".
Our self-developed bevel end processing equipment is applicable to pipe fittings with wall thickness from 2mm to 20mm, featuring high working efficiency and stable processing quality.
Buttweld fittings are components for piping systems to change direction, branch flow or reduce pipe diameter. They match the pipes in all sizes and schedules, and are mechanically connected to the whole pipeline.

Applications

A steel pipe reducer is used to connect pipes of different diameters and ensure smooth flow transitions within piping systems.

Reducer Applications

Typical Applications of Steel Pipe Reducers

The length of the reduction is generally equal to the average of the larger and smaller pipe diameters. Reducers may function as diffusers or nozzles and are commonly used to connect piping systems of different sizes while maintaining efficient flow characteristics.

Steel reducers are widely used in chemical plants, power stations, oil & gas facilities, pharmaceutical systems and industrial processing pipelines. They help compensate for expansion, vibration and alignment issues while improving overall system reliability.

Standard Standard

Standard

Pipe fitting dimensions are in either metric or Standard English.

Because pipe fitting covers Pipe Fitting Dimensions several aspects, only the most common pipe fitting sizes can be given here. The most applied version is the 90° long radius and the 45° elbow, while the 90° short radius elbow is applied if there is too little space. The function of a 180° elbow is to change direction of flow through 180°. Both, the LR and the SR types have a center to center dimension double the matching 90° elbows. These fittings will generally be used in furnesses or other heating or cooling units.

Some of the standards that apply to buttwelded fittings are listed below. Many organizations such as ASME, ASTM, ISO, MSS, etc. have very well developed standards and specifications for buttwelded fittings. It is always up to the designer to ensure that they are following the applicable standard and company specification, if available, during the design process.

Some widely used pipe fitting standards are as follows:

ASME American Society for Mechanical Engineers

This is one of the reputed organizations in the world developing codes and standards.
The schedule number for pipe fitting starts from ASME/ANSI B16. The various classifications of ASME/ANSI B16 standards for different pipe fittings are as follows:

  • ASME/ANSI B16.1 – 1998 – Cast Iron Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings
  • ASME/ANSI B16.3 – 1998 – Malleable Iron Threaded Fittings

  • AWWA C208 – Dimensions for Fabricated Steel Water Pipe Fittings

ANSI The American National Standards Institute

ANSI is a private, non-profit organization. Its main function is to administer and coordinate the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment system. It provides a forum for development of American national standards. ANSI assigns "schedule numbers". These numbers classify wall thicknesses for different pressure uses.


MSS STANDARDS: Manufacturers Standardization Society

The Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) of the Valve and Fittings Industry is a non-profit technical association organized for development and improvement of industry, national and international codes and standards for: Valves, Valve Actuators, Valve Modification, Pipe Fittings, Pipe Hangers, Pipe Supports, Flanges and Associated Seals

Difference between "Standard" and "Codes"

Piping codes imply the requirements of design, fabrication, use of materials, tests and inspection of various pipe and piping system. It has a limited jurisdiction defined by the code. On the other hand, piping standards imply application design and construction rules and requirements for pipe fittings like adapters, flanges, sleeves, elbows, union, tees, valves etc. Like a code, it also has a limited scope defined by the standard.


Factors affecting standards

"Standards" on pipe fittings are based on certain factors like as follows:

  • Pressure-temperature ratings
  • Size
  • Design
  • Coatings
  • Materials
  • Marking
  • End connections
  • Dimensions and tolerances
  • Threading
  • Pattern taper etc.

BSP British Standard Pipe

BSP is the U.K. standard for pipe fittings. This refers to a family of standard screw thread types for interconnecting and sealing pipe ends by mating an external (male) with an internal (female) thread. This has been adopted internationally. It is also known as British Standard Pipe Taper threads (BSPT )or British Standard Pipe Parallel (Straight) threads (BSPP ). While the BSPT achieves pressure tight joints by the threads alone, the BSPP requires a sealing ring.


JIS Japanese Industrial Standards

This is the Japanese industrial standards or the standards used for industrial activities in Japan for pipe, tube and fittings and published through Japanese Standards Associations.


NPT National Pipe Thread

National Pipe Thread is a U.S. standard straight (NPS) threads or for tapered (NPT) threads. This is the most popular US standard for pipe fittings. NPT fittings are based on the internal diameter (ID) of the pipe fitting.


BOLTS & NUTS

We are manufacturer of Flange bolts & Nuts and supply high quality

  • A193 = This specification covers alloy and stainless steel bolting material for pressure vessels, Valves, flanges, and fittings for high temperature or high pressure service, or other special purpose applications.
  • A320 = Standard Specification for Alloy-Steel and Stainless Steel Bolting Materials for Low-Temperature Service.
  • A194 = Standard specification for nuts in many different material types.

AN Here, "A" stands for Army and "N" stands for Navy

The AN standard was originally designed for the U.S. Military. Whenever, a pipe fitting is AN fittings, it means that the fittings are measured on the outside diameter of the fittings, that is, in 1/16 inch increments.

For example, an AN 4 fitting means a fitting with an external diameter of approximately 4/16″ or ¼”. It is to be noted that approximation is important because AN external diameter is not a direct fit with an equivalent NPT thread.


Dash (-) size

Dash size is the standard used to refer to the inside diameter of a hose. This indicates the size by a two digit number which represents the relative ID in sixteenths of an inch. This is also used interchangeably with AN fittings. For example, a Dash "8" fitting means an AN 8 fitting.


ISO International Organization for Standardization

ISO is the industrial pipe, tube and fittings standards and specifications from the International Organization for Standardization. ISO standards are numbered. They have format as follows:

"ISO[/IEC] [IS] nnnnn[:yyyy] Title" where

  • nnnnn: standard number
  • yyyy: year published, and
  • Title: describes the subject
