DIN 2605 Elbow
The DIN 2605 Elbow is a pipe fitting specified by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN). It serves the purpose of connecting pipes at different angles. Let’s delve into the details of this elbow:
- Design and Dimensions:
- The DIN 2605 standard outlines the design and dimensions of both seamless and welded steel elbows.
- These elbows are intended to be butt-welded to pipes.
- While the wall thickness specified corresponds to that of the pipes, these fittings do not permit operation at the same internal pressure as the pipe they are welded to. In other words, they have a reduced pressure factor compared to the pipe itself.
- Variations:
- Long Radius Elbow (Type 3): These elbows have a larger radius of curvature, resulting in a smoother flow transition.
- Short Radius Elbow: These elbows have a smaller radius of curvature, making them more compact.
- Materials:
- DIN 2605 elbows can be made from various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and high nickel alloys.
- Applications:
- These elbows find use in diverse industries, such as bitumen upgraders, heavy oil refineries, nuclear power production, petrochemicals, and acids.
