Copper Nickel Pipe Fittings – Elbow

Copper nickel elbows ( cuni elbow ) are a type of 90-10 copper nickel pipe and fittings used for changing the flow direction.

Among all copper nickel pipe fittings used in the piping system,

the demand copper nickel elbow is the largest.

It can be about 80%.

Shihang, as a copper nickel fittings supplier , also produce the copper nickel elbow.

Cotovelo de cobre e níquel

Different forming processes are used for different materials or wall thickness elbows.

Copper nickel pipe fittings manufacturers commonly used seamless elbow forming process hot push hydraumatic or clod forming method.

The most common application is copper nickel elbow shipbuilding.

If the outer diameter is more than 457 mm , it should be welded.

There are three main standard for copper nickel elbow:

• DIN 86090
• EEMUA 146 , EEMUA 234
• ASME B16.9

For divided into type , there are two

• Long Radius ( normally 1.5 D )

Copper Nickel Pipe Fittings – Reducer

Copper nickel reducer is one of the common copper nickel pipe fittings.

It is used for the connection of two different diameters copper nickel pipes.

In accordance with the appearance,

Copper Nickel Reducer

they are divided into concentric reducer and eccentric reducer.

For seamless copper nickel reducer , outer diameter is less than 419 mm.

The commonly used forming process is shrinkage-reducing, expanding-diameter pressing.

Reducing the forming process of reducing joints is to put the tube blank with the same diameter as the major diameter of the reducing joint into the forming die.

By pressing along the axial direction of the blank, the copper nickel pipes moves along the cavity and shrinks and forms.

According to the size of the reducer, it can be divided into one press forming or multiple press forming.

For seam welded copper nickel reduer , outer diameter is over than 457mm.

Rolling

We use copper nickel plate to roll , and then welded.

The reducer used for ventilation and dust removal pipes is welded after the steel plate is rolled.

Copper Nickel Pipe Fittings – Saddle

Copper nickel saddle is an alternative to the copper nickel tee.

It has strong flexibility of use and is well received by domestic and foreign markets.

The advantage is large diameter change and wide range of diameter change.

The copper nickel saddles welded with copper nickel pipes.

The functions are same as copper nickel tees.

Copper Nickel Pipe Fittings – End Cap

Copper nickel end cap is welded in the pipe end or installed in the pipe end of the external thread to cover the tube pipe fittings.
