Steel Pipe Bends

Our high-performance steel pipe bends are engineered for piping systems that require a change in direction with a smoother flow and lower pressure drop than standard elbows. Utilizing advanced cold-bending or induction-heating (Hot Bend) processes, we provide precision-curved solutions for oil and gas transmission, structural engineering, and heavy industrial applications.


1. Technical Specifications

Bend Angles:15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 135°, 180°, orCustom Degrees.

Bending Radius (R):3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 8D, 10D, up to 20D (where D is the nominal pipe diameter).

Size Range:1/2" to 72" (DN15 – DN1800).

Wall Thickness:SCH 5S to SCH XXS / STD / XS.


2. Material Grades & Standards

We offer a full range of materials to ensure mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance:

Carbon Steel:ASTM A234 WPB, WPC; ST37.2, A105.

Stainless Steel:ASTM A403 WP304/304L, WP316/316L, 321, 310S.

Alloy Steel:ASTM A234 WP1, WP5, WP9, WP11, WP22, WP91.

Line Pipe Steel:ASTM A860 WPHY 42, 52, 60, 65, 70 (High Yield for Pipelines).

Low Temperature:ASTM A420 WPL6.


3. Manufacturing Standards

All bends are produced and strictly tested in accordance with global industry requirements:

ASME B16.49(Factory-Made Wrought Steel Buttwelding Induction Bends)

ISO 15590-1(Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries — Induction Bends)

ASME/ANSI B16.9(Factory-Made Wrought Buttwelding Fittings)

DIN 2605 / EN 10253


4. Key Features & Applications

Optimized Flow Dynamics:The large radius reduces friction, turbulence, and internal erosion, extending the life of the piping system.

Structural Integrity:Ideal for "Pigging" in oil and gas pipelines, allowing cleaning tools to pass through easily.

Surface Treatment:Available with Black Vanish, Anti-rust Oil, Hot-dip Galvanized, 3PE Coating, or FBE Coating.

Broad Application:Used in Long-distance Pipelines, Power Plant Construction, Offshore Platforms, and Heavy Structural Frameworks.


5. Quality Control & Testing

Advanced Inspection:100% Dimensional Check, Wall Thinning Analysis, Ovality Testing, and Ultrasonic Testing (UT).

Heat Treatment:Normalizing, Stress Relieving, or Quenching & Tempering (Q+T) to restore material properties after bending.

Certification:Fully compliant withMTC (EN 10204 3.1/3.2); third-party inspection (SGS, TUV, BV) is standard for our export orders.

Packaging:Securely packed in seaworthy wooden cases or steel frames with end protection to ensure zero-damage delivery.
