Stainless Steel U Bend Tube

U-shaped or U-bent tubes give the end user more freedom to design a more compact system than straight tubes do. The stainless steel U bend tube is perfect for applications involving heat and elevated pressure levels since it is frequently used in heat exchanger applications. An expansion joint would be used to join a straight tube in settings with exceptionally high temperatures. It would be terrible for the application if straight tubes’ thermal expansion was not taken into account.

Not to add, the price of the application is increased by the cost of using an expansion joint. However, when connecting a tube and a shell, a Stainless Steel U Bend Tube For Heat Exchanger allows for thermal expansion of the component without adding on or increasing the cost. As a result, employing stainless steel U-shaped tubes is not only effective but also economical. Although the component’s design is critical for its intended use, choosing the right grade when producing the stainless steel U-shaped tube is also a crucial factor. Stainless steel comes in a variety of grades on the market today.

Any grade of stainless steel tube U bend has an almost endless range of applications, from the highly affordable grade alloy 304 to the marine grade alloy 316. The Ss 316ti U Bend Tubes, which contain titanium added to its chemical composition, is one of the most attractive alloys since the durability of the application also comes into view. In particular, the alloy creates titanium carbide rather than carbide precipitates, which is not lethal to welded components, which improves the high temperature performance of the stainless steel welded U tube.

Production process:

straight pipe – bending before 100% flaw detection – reliable bending machine and precision bending mould – bending after the U-shaped part of the electric heating stress relief annealing – bending after 100% water pressure

STAINLESS STEEL U TUBE TOLERANCES:

Dimensional tolerances U tubes acc. to TEMA R.C.B.
1) Length of straight part -0/+5 mm
Flattening (also called “ovality”) at the bend shall not exceed 10% of the nominal tube outside diameter.
Wall thickness in bending part acc. to TEMA R.C.B 2.31
2) Minimum tube wall thickness in the bend part (T min)T(min) ≥ (SW × (2×R + D))/( 2× (R+D)
where: SW is smallest wall thickness
D Nominal outside diameter
R radius
3)Radius tolerance
1. for R 100 mm +/- 3 mm
2. for R ≥ 100 mm +/- 5 mm
3. Straightness tolerance max. 1,5 mm per 1 m
U-Tube ends: plain, verticallycut to the tube axis

Packing:

Packed in ply wooden box wrapped in plastic, and suitably protected for sea-worthily delivery or as requested.
